A. Potential energy can be thought of as an intermediate between conversion of forms of energy. Thus, the correct beginning and ending of the conversion of forms of energy is chemical; from molecules of glucose for example, chemically broken down to produce ATP to fuel homeostasis by the body to produce; thermal energy.
