Expert Answer

A. A. a space station orbiting Earth. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles.

Energy is the capacity of a body to do work. There are various forms of energy, including potential energy, kinetic energy, thermal energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, etc.,

B. A.The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of a system remains constant and that energy only converts from one form to another.

C. E. Potential energy.

Potential energy, stored energy that depends upon the relative position of various parts of a system.

D. A. Cellular respiration

Cells convert glucose to ATP in a process called cellular respiration. Cellular respiration: process of turning glucose into energy In the form of ATP.
