At which of the following points during the carbon cycle is energy transformed from kinetic to potential energy?

When bacteria in the soil decompose living things that have died

When light energy is stored in a glucose molecule during photosynthesis

When muscle cells break up food molecules to make the muscle contract

When fossil fuels are burned in a car engine to make the car run

Do you know what kinetic and potential energy are?

anonymous · Answer

The lesson taught thermal, radiant, mechanical, and a few others bu kinetic and potential aren't there.

anonymous · Answer

If you take a ball and hold it up high, you're giving it potential energy. When you drop it, that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is basically the energy that something has when it's moving.

anonymous · Answer

So A.

anonymous · Answer

I'm actually not sure. There's at least some kinetic energy being converted into potential energy in all of those examples.

anonymous · Answer

Since it's the carbon cycle it's either A or B. I think A then?
