Describes crude oil as fossilized sunlight

Reference no: EM133569889

Assignment:

The film describes crude oil as "fossilized sunlight." Using the equation for photosynthesis, (you may have to look this up) illustrate how plants such as algae convert sunlight to energy. Now substitute a petroleum product for glucose (cross it out) and run this equation backwards (reverse the arrow). How does this relate to energy released through combustion and the Law of Conservation of Energy which states that energy (and matter as well!) can be neither created nor destroyed.
