More or less - however, any energy conversion is subject to the Second Law of Thermodynamics. A simplified explanation is that there are irreversible processes in nature, and that energy converted to heat can no longer be completely converted to other types of energy.

When is mass converted into energy?
Mass and energy are equivalent, so there are exchanges of between mass and energy any time there is a change in motion (kinetic energy). But Atomic energy is the most familiar conversion of mass into energy. The explosion of an nuclear bomb, or the energy generated by a nuclear reactor are consequences of conversion of mass into energy. Energy from combustion is not primarily derived from mass/energy conversion, but from exothermic chemical reactions. In fact, any such exchange between mass and energy would operate in the other direction, as gasses gain mass as they are put into motion (increased kinetic energy=increased mass). But any such gain is so tiny as to be meaningless.
Each step in any energy conversion process will?
Create energy
How does energy change from one to another?
Chemical, mechanical, thermal, kinetic, electro-magnetic - all of the transfer of energy between any of these types to other types involves CONTACT between the interacting substances.
What is the rate at which elecric energy is converted to another form?
Rate of energy conversion (any energy conversion) is called "power". The SI unit for power is the watt, which is equal to joules/second.
How does energy conversion support the Law of Conservation?
Any time there is an energy conversion, a certain amount of one type of energy gets reduced, and another type of energy increases. The amounts lost and gained are the same, so total energy is conserved.

What is light absorption?
Absorption is the reduction of intensity of any form of radiated energy as a result of energy conversion in a medium.
What types of reaction is glycolysis?
Glycolysis is the conversion of glucose into ATP (Adenosine Triphospate) molecules in short. In any case, energy is released.
Can energy be converted from one form into another?
Yes, any form of energy can be converted into any other form, although the conversion process is not 100% efficient and there will be some energy lost.
Why does the energy in sugar need to be converted into ATP?
I would say that it needs to converted into ATP because the sugar molecules turn into chemical energy that can be used by a cell to carry out life processes. Cells can breakdown ATP quickly to release the energy.
Whenever one form of energy is converted into mechanical energy some energy is also tranformed into?
Almost invariably, in any energy conversion, some energy gets converted into waste heat.
What is a form of energy conversiton that produces an unwanted energy?
Unwanted energy is usually waste heat, although there are other possibilities as well. Waste heat is produced in virtually any energy conversion.
Are there any health benefits for drinking energy drinks?
They surge the conversion of fat into energy giving you a temporary energy boost often resulting in a longer drop of efficiency afterwards
