The sun is the primary source of energy that drives all the biogeochemical cycles on earth. which statement best describes how the sun’s energy powers the water cycle? 1.plants require energy from the sun to perform photosynthesis.2.the sun's heat reflects off ice sheets near the polar caps, reducing the overall temperature of earth.3.heat from the sun drives evaporation, turning water on earth's surface into water vapor.4.energy from the sun provides the warmth necessary for cold-blooded animals to survive.

3. Heat from the Sun drives evaporation, turning water on Earth's surface into water vapor.

Explanation:

Water cycle starts with evaporation of water from water bodies which includes transition of water into water vapor by heat of sunlight. The water vapor rises up in the sky and gets condensed to form clouds. This is followed by precipitation and collection of water into the water bodies again through surface run off. Hence, the very first step of water cycle, that is, evaporation is driven by energy from Sun.

i would say the prokaryotic cells the prokaryotic cells are less complex, are usually found only in unicellular organisms and have more limited capabilities than eukaryotic cells.
