1 A group of students are investigating the transformation of energy during digestion. The initial temperature of hydrogen peroxide in a beaker is measured and recorded. Small pieces of liver are placed into a beaker of hydrogen peroxide and the temperature is measured and recorded every 30 seconds over a two minute time period.
What energy transformation is under investigation in the scenario above?
A Thermal energy transformed into chemical energy
B Chemical energy transformed into thermal energy
C Chemical energy transformed into mechanical energy
D Mechanical energy transformed into thermal energy
2 Which of the following best illustrates the transfer from chemical energy to thermal energy?
3 Which is the best description of thermal energy?
A A kind of chemical energy
B A kind of potential energy
C A kind of heat energy
D A kind of light energy

5 Which of the following energy transformations occur when humans use energy from food to exercise?
A Mechanical --> thermal --> chemical
B Thermal --> electrical --> mechanical
C Radiant --> mechanical --> thermal
D Chemical --> mechanical --> thermal
6 What energy transformation takes place when a rabbit digests a carrot?
F Radiant energy is transformed into chemical energy.
G Chemical energy is transformed into heat and thermal energy.
H Radiant energy is transformed into mechanical and heat energy.
J Thermal energy is transformed into mechanical energy.
7 Which of the following best describes the energy conversions that occurs during photosynthesis?
