When a cow eats grass, it chews the grass and then swallows it. The food ends up in the stomach where it is further broken down and absorbed. The energy and matter from the grass is used by the cow’s body to produce milk. What energy transformations occur in the cow during the entire process of using grass to produce milk?

Chemical energy to mechanical energy

Light energy to chemical energy

Chemical energy to electrical energy to mechanical energy

Chemical energy to mechanical energy to chemical energy

A hydroelectric power plant works by using flowing water to turn a turbine. The turbine is connected to a magnet inside of a generator. When the magnet turns inside of the generator, the coiled wire surrounding the magnet will generate the type of energy that is sent along power lines to your home. What energy transformation occurs in a hydroelectric power plant?

Mechanical to electrical

Electrical to mechanical

Chemical to mechanical

Chemical to electrical
