1. A photocell changes
light into electricity.
Higher tier only:
When light (photons) falls on a silicon photocell, electrons are released
from its crystal.
These electrons produce a direct current.
The
larger the surface area of a photocell, the larger its power.

2. The fuels that cause
global warming when burned are the fossil fuels.
3. Wind turbine changes
kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy.
4. The missing words are:
Nuclear power stations use uranium as fuel. This fuel is non renewable.
The fuel rods release a lot of energy as heat.
