Heterotrophs convert solar energy into chemical energy. select the best answer from the choices provided t f

I took the test, and it said that the answer False is correct.

I hope this helps! Have a nice day :)

It is a false statement.

It is only plants on this earth which have the ability to convert solar energy into chemical energy. Plants can trap solar energy with the help of a pigment known as chlorophyll. The energy trapped by chlorophyll is then used by plants to break water molecules as a result of which hydrogen ions, electrons and oxygen molecules are produced. The energy of this electron is then further used to reduce NADPH molecule in the plant. The energy of  this NADPH molecule is then used to synthesize bio-molecules known as glucose through a series chemical reactions. In this way, solar energy is converted into chemical energy by plants which ultimately gets stored in glucose.

1. (1.2kw)x(15/60hours) = .3kwh --> a

2. (5kw)x(90/60hours)x(8cents/kwh) = $0.60 --> d

3. microwave --> 1200 watts = (1.2kw)x(6/60hours) = .12kwh

coffee-maker --> 900 watts = (.9kw)x(10/60hours) = .15kwh

therefore, it requires more energy for the coffee-maker to do the same amount of work.

so the answer is a.

carbon atoms, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
