Explain what is happening in this photo in terms of kineticenergy and potential energy. Include the energy conversionsthat occur when the penguins eat fish and climb back upon the glacier. Describe the role of ATP and enzymes in theunderlying molecular processes, including what happens tothe free energy of some of the molecules involved.
