What are the advantages and disadvantages of producing electricity by photoelectric cells?
The advantage is that it is cheap to produce electricity with the sun. The disadvantage is the "CLOUDS, or no sun. No sun, no electricity.
What conducts electricity when exposed to light so it is used in solar cells and in light meters?
Selenium
What conducts water and is made of elongated cells that connect end to end?
Xylem
What cells have chloroplast?
The chloroplast, an organelle, is found on plant cells and other eukaryotics organism that conducts photosynthesis.(they aren't in sperm cells)
Do cells conduct electricity?
yes

How is light absorbed and made into electricity?
light is absorbed by special cells known as photoelectric cells...... these cells are made uf certain materials that release electrons upon absorbing energy in the form of light...
Instrument used for changing light to energy?
photo voltaic cells convert light energy to electricalenergy The conversion of sunlight to electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells, also known as solar cells, is based on the photoelectric effect discovered by Alexander Bequerel in 1839. The photoelectric effect describes the release of positive and negative charge carriers in a solid state when light strikes its surface.
What did Albert Einstein discover in electricity?
lbert Einstein discovered and explained the photoelectric effect. This effect is utilized in building solar cells. For this discovery he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics.
What are photoelectric cells?
Photoelectric cells are devices that generate electrical output that is dependent on the amount of illumination. They are used in various mechanical devices to set off alarms or open doors.
What is radioisotopes potassium-40 and its uses?
