Question

when a dog eats its dinner, it converts __ ____ from the food into mechanical energy. thermal energy potential energy kinetic energy chemical energy

Explanation:

Food contains stored energy in the form of chemical bonds. When an organism (like a dog) digests food, the chemical energy in the food is converted into other forms of energy, such as mechanical energy for movement. Thermal energy is related to heat, potential energy is stored energy (but food's energy is chemical), and kinetic energy is energy of motion (food doesn't have kinetic energy in the context of being converted from it for movement here). So the correct type of energy from food is chemical energy.

Answer:

Chemical Energy
