Question

question 6 of 24 which energy conversion occurs in the cells of an animal, such as the chipmunk shown in the photograph? a. kinetic energy → potential energy b. light energy → chemical energy c. kinetic energy → nuclear energy d. chemical energy → potential energy

Explanation:

Animals consume food which has chemical energy. This chemical energy is then converted into potential energy for activities like movement and other life - processes. Light energy to chemical energy conversion occurs in plants during photosynthesis. Kinetic to potential energy conversion is a general physical energy conversion not specific to animal cell energy conversion, and kinetic to nuclear energy conversion is not relevant in animal cells.

Answer:

D. Chemical energy → Potential energy
