Einstein did not discover matter and energy. Matter and energy have been around since the beginning of time.
Steam in nuclear power plants is used to drive turbines for generation of kinetic energy.
matter and thermal energy
No, energy an matter are different phenomenons. Energy is the ability of a system to do work (ie to move matter). Matter has mass, and is related to energy by E = mcc.
Light is energy, and energy is not matter.

The prefered energy currency for all organism
organisms that produce their own food energy.
Chemical reactions that release energy often occur spontaneously. Chemical reactions that absorb energy will not occur without energy.
Density would affect the speed in which the energy is transferred.
describe the flow of energy and the cycling of matter thourgh the earth
I need to know this answer too!! For my homework :)

No, biomass is used to describe plants which have grown in the recent past and can produce energy when harvested. Oil is from plants that grew hundreds of millions of years ago and we describe that as fossilised matter.
Saprotrophs are organisms that get their energy from non-living organic material. The important role they play is they get rid of decaying matter.
Heat energy (as steam or hot gas) transforms to kinetic energy through the turbine. The kinetic energy transforms into electricity through the rotor of the electric generator.
None of these. It is energy. It is not matter. But according to the law of relativity, energy can be converted into matter.
