A radiant energy, chemical energy, mechanical energy, chemical energy, radiant energy

B chemical energy, radiant energy, mechanical energy, chemical energy, electrical energy

C radiant energy, chemical energy, mechanical energy, mechanical energy, radiant energy

D radiant energy, chemical energy, electrical energy, electrical energy, radiant energy

Answer 1

I am almost sure that it is C, but it could possibly be A

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A "radiant energy, chemical energy, mechanical energy, chemical energy, radiant energy".

Step-by-step explanation:

Radiant energy is defined as the power generated from electromagnetic and gravitational radiation. This type of energy is seen when sunlight shines on plants and when coal is retrieved and burned as fuel, because sunlight and fire are two examples of electromagnetic energy. Chemical energy is the one that comes from the reactions that transform compounds. This type of energy is seen in biological processes such as plant's photosynthesis and in the reactions that transform compressed organic matter in coal. Mechanical energy is the power that comes from potential and kinetic energy. This type of energy is exerted in kinetic actions such as burying and compressing plant matter.
