  1. C
  2. Yes, such as when there’s a current
  3. Watt is a measure of power, named after James Watt a Scottish inventor known for improving the steam engine. William Siemens suggested the name for the reason, to honor the power of his invention.
  4. A near-future science fiction novel by American author Elizabeth Moon.
  5. You mean like the sacoglossan sea slug Elysia clarki, which ingests Alge to directly convert solar energy to food? I guess if we’ve got plantimals, then a solar powered bug must be a member of family plantiinsecta.
