When a car engine burns gasoline, the results of the reaction are similar to when cells burn glucose. Both reactions release car
bon dioxide and water. In cells, the chemical energy in food is converted to ATP and heat. In a moving car, the chemical energy in gasoline is converted to _____. kinetic energy and heat True or False
A car is designed to utilize fuel as its source of energy. This fuel contains chemicals, which the engine of the car breaks down via combustion to facilitate its functioning. Kinetic energy is a form of mechanical energy produced as a result of motion. A moving object, individual etc uses kinetic energy to do so.
The fuel (gasoline) being supplied into the car's engine makes the car able to move, hence, we can say that the chemical energy present in the fuel is being converted to kinetic energy (observable in the car on motion) with the release of heat by the engine.
