A group of students used wire to connect a solar panel to a bell, as shown in the diagram. When sunlight shines on the solar panel, electricity flows through the wire. The electricity causes the ringer to hit the bell and a sound is made.
Identify one type of energy that is converted to another type of energy.
sunlight hits the solar panel converting thermal energy to electrical energy
or
electrical energy is converted to sound energy

A. Their habitat is destroyed
B. Their population size is decreasing.
C. Polar Bears have less ice
B. Their population size is decreasing.
