Competency #2
Answer and Explanation
The correct answer is B.
An apple tree receives energy from the sun's rays (radiant energy) and, through photosynthesis, coverts the energy into chemical energy that is stored in the tree's leaves and fruit.
Note: The energy from the sun can be referred to as solar energy, radiant energy, radiant solar energy, electromagnetic radiation, or electromagnetic energy. The electromagnetic spectrum includes a wide range of different types of waves, all of which carry energy. Visible light that we receive from the sun or a light bulb makes up a very small part of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. Electromagnetic energy is a category that includes visible light, but also includes x-rays, gamma rays, infrared and ultraviolet light, microwaves, and radio waves.
