Question

the capacity to do work as a result of position or state is known as______.thermal energychemical energypotential energykinetic energyquestion 50.91 ptswhat form of energy is stored within the molecules of atp?kinetic energyheat energypotential energylight energyquestion 60.91 pts1. when a substance looses electrons it is aoxidationreaction.2. when a substance gains electrons it is areductionreaction

Explanation:

• First question: Potential energy is defined as the capacity to do work due to an object's position or state. Thermal energy is related to heat, chemical energy is in chemical bonds, and kinetic energy is due to motion.
• Second question: ATP stores energy in its phosphate bonds. This is potential energy as it is stored and can be used later (like when ATP breaks down to ADP + Pi). Kinetic energy is motion - related, heat energy is thermal, and light energy is from photons.
• Third question: Oxidation is the loss of electrons (e.g., in redox reactions like \( \text{Fe}

ightarrow\text{Fe}^{2 +}+ 2e^{-}\)), and reduction is the gain of electrons (e.g., \( \text{Cu}^{2+}+2e^{-}
ightarrow\text{Cu}\)).

Answer:

1. Potential energy
2. Potential energy
3. 1. oxidation; 2. reduction
