Two cars that are identical except for their color are traveling on the same road. The red car is traveling at a speed of 78 km/hr, and the blue car is traveling at a speed of 106 km/hr. Which of the following statements is true?
A.
Neither car has any kinetic energy.
B.
The blue car has more kinetic energy than the red car.
C.
The cars have the same kinetic energy.
D.
The red car has more kinetic energy than the blue car.

chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds of atoms and molecules. it can only be seen when it is released in a chemical reaction. when chemical energy is released, the substance from which the energy came is often changed into an entirely different substance.

this chemical reaction releases energy in the form of light and heat. chemical energy is the potential energy stored in the arrangement of atoms within molecules. breaking chemical bonds requires energy, while forming new chemical bonds releases energy.

the atp molecule can store energy in the form of a high energy phosphate bond joining the terminal phosphate group to the rest of the molecule. in this form,energy can be stored at one location, then moved from one part of the cell to another, where it can be released to drive other biochemical reactions.
