There are many examples of energy transfer within your daily
routine, such as the transfer of chemical energy stored in the food
that you eat to chemical energy that your cells can use (ATP), fuel
chemical energy in gasoline to kinetic energy to make your vehicle
move, or converting electrical potential energy to energy that can
light up the screen of an electronic device.

Explain your rationale.
In your response to your peers:
Describe additional energy transfers that could have been
identified.
Describe any additional types of energy that are being
produced.
