Energy

Question 1

Potential energy:

Answer 1

Stored energy (e.g. chemical energy, triglycerides, glucose and ATP)

Question 2

Kinetic energy:

Answer 2

Energy of movement (e.g. mechanical, sound, radiant, electrical energies, and heat)

Question 3

First law of Thermodynamics:

Answer 3

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted or transformed from one from to another

Question 4

Second law of Thermodynamics:

Answer 4

Every time energy is converted from one form to another, some energy is lost thru heat

Question 5
