Question

1. metabolism can be seen as the process of converting a) energy into matter. b) potential energy into kinetic energy c) kinetic energy into potential energy d) atoms into compounds e) matter into potential energy.

Explanation:

Metabolism involves the conversion of energy from one form to another. In biological systems, energy - storing molecules are broken down to release energy for cellular work. This is a conversion of potential energy (stored in chemical bonds) to kinetic energy (used for processes like muscle contraction, active transport etc.).

Answer:

B. potential energy into kinetic energy
