Which form of energy is Not correctly associated with an example? a) kinetic energy : fat molecules

b) kinetic energy : movement of muscles
c) chemical energy : glucose
d) potential energy : water held behind a dam
e) potential energy : ATP

Answer:

Option (a) is not correctly associated as fat molecules are a form of potential energy rather than kinetic energy. Fat molecules contain stored chemical energy that can be converted into kinetic energy during metabolism or other processes.

The correct association for option (a) would be "potential energy: fat molecules".

Answer:

A) Kinetic energy: fat molecules is not correctly associated

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Kinetic energy: fat molecules is not correctly associated

Fat molecules have chemical potential energy, which can be converted into kinetic energy when the body metabolizes them for fuel. Kinetic energy is associated with movement, so options B (movement of muscles) and E (ATP) are correctly associated. Chemical energy is stored in molecules such as glucose, so option C is correctly associated. Potential energy is associated with energy that is stored in an object or system, so options D (water held behind a dam) and E (ATP) are correctly associated.
