    The type of energy the Sun produces is nuclear. Solar energy is the radiation and the light that are a product of the nuclear fusion.

    It is all a trick by the plants. The plants produce nectar to attract the bees. The pollen sticks to the bees by accident (it is not actively collected by the bees). When the bee visits another plant, it fertilises it by brushing the pollen off again.

    The brain is ultimately responsible for pumping blood throughout your body, it can even choose which part.

    I agree. I know the heart does the work, but the brain controls it. And to Rick Murray, I answered solar for the energy from the sun. To me, nuclear energy involves atom splitting, not joining.

    26/27 - yes, I'm a science nerd (even though I needed to "dumb down" some of my answers and think that the sun's energy would be that as seen from the perspective of earth (thus solar) rather than what it is actually doing (nuclear)). The only one I got wrong was sleeping snails. I didn't think the average snail lived that long! 🐌

    21/27. I AM in high school, although tbh, the ones that I got wrong, I never learned. Like the one with the snail. I'm always paying attention. But it's also the classes that a student selects. The only reason I know the things about elements and atoms is because of the Chemical Explorations class I chose, and the Living Environment class that was mandatory in 9th grade.
