Stored energy 2. Energy due to position. D. Kinetic energy 1. Energy due to motion. When potential energy is utilized, it is transformed into kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is needed to store potential energy.
If the rock rolls down the hill, the potential energy it had is changed to kinetic energy the energy that is released while it goes down. This released energy can be used to squish a bug E. Thermodynamics 1. Conservation of energy energy can neither be created or destroyed. Biological systems need to conserve order, but they do this at the expense of their environment. Lots of energy in reactants, little energy in products, energy released during reaction.
