Solar panels convert light energy from sunlight into electrical energy. what material is most likely used in solar panels, and why?
a.) a nonmetal is used because it is a semiconductor and can become more conductive when more light shines on it.
b.) a metalloid is used because it is a good conductor but can become less conductive when more light shines on it.
c.) a metalloid is used because it is a semiconductor and can become more conductive when more light shines on it.
d.) a nonmetal is used because it is a poor conductor but can become more conductive when more light shines on it.

which properties are characteristic of metalloids?
a.) high electrical conductivity and a high melting point
b.) low electrical conductivity and a low melting point
c.) intermediate conductivity and a high melting point
d.) intermediate conductivity and a low melting point

The bubba chump shrimp company processes and packages shrimp for sale to wholesale seafood distributors. the shrimp are transported to the main plant by trucks that carry 1,000 pounds (lb) of shrimp. once the continuous flow processing of the shrimp begins, no inventory is allowed in buffers due to spoilage and all of the shrimp must be processed within 12 hours to prevent spoilage. the processing begins at the sorter, where the trucks dump the shrimp onto a conveyor belt that feeds into the sorter, which can sort up to 500 lb per hour. the shrimp then proceed to the desheller, which can process shrimp at the rate of 400 lb per hour. however, after 3 hours and 45 minutes of processing, the desheller must be stopped for 15 minutes to clean out empty shrimp shells that have accumulated. the veins of the shrimp are then removed in the deveining area at a maximum rate of 360 lb per hour. the shrimp proceed to the washing area, where they are processed at 750 lb per hour. finally, the shrimp are packaged and frozen. what is the daily process capacity of the processing plant (excluding the packaging and freezing)?
