28. What is the formula to find the energy input?
Energy input= useful energy + wasted energy

is 60j and it loses 40j heat
Energy input= useful energy + wasted energy
= 60j + 40j
= 100j energy input is
100j

water is- water contains solutes

A paragraph to know

The answers are in Arial Black.

Water is an excellent solvent: it dissolves solids. The

solutes can be gases, such as oxygen or solids,
such as salt. The dissolved oxygen is very important
for the survival of aquatic plants and animals. They
use this dissolved oxygen for respiration. Salts like
nitrates and phosphates are valuable plant
nutrients, which are also soluble in water. Plants are
 therefore able to take up these nutrients from the soil
water via their roots. Substances that dissolve in
water are called soluble but substances such as
sand are insoluble in water.
