Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cell metabolism.Many living organisms carry out glycolysis as part of their metabolism. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of most prokaryotic and all eukaryotic cells.
The thermal energy of a substance is related to the movement of the particles in the substance. This energy is defined by the temperature of the substance and whether heat is transferred or lost. This can be explained as a higher temperature causes the particles in substances to move faster and collide.
The KE can be solve using the formula:
ke = 0.5 mv^2
where m is the mass of the object
v is the velocity
ke = 0.5 ( 2 kg ) ( 5 m/s)^2
ke = 25 J
the GPE can be solved using the formula:
GPE = mgh
where m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity ( 9.81 m/s^2)
h is the height
GPE = ( 4 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)( 40 m)
GPE = 392.4 J
The answer would be C. carbon dioxide.
