Best Answer

A leaping frog is an example of kinetic energy. Before the jump, the frog contains potential energy. When it jumps, the potential energy converts to energy of motion, otherwise known as kinetic energy.

when opposite means completely different why do objects not have opposites?

Opposite doesn't mean completely different, it means the antithesis of. Dark is the opposite of light. It isn't merely different from light, it is defined as the absence of light. The word "dark" literally means, "not light." The moon is completely different from a frog, but they're not really opposites of each other. The moon is not a frog, granted, but it isn't defined by being not a frog. Its definition has no relationship to a frog, so it isn't the opposite of a frog. Likewise, its definition has no relationship to light or dark, which is why it isn't the opposite of those things, despite being completely different from them too.


Where does the energy go that is lost in the energy pyramid?

Only the energy stored as biomass (stuff that the next organism up eats and successfully absorbs) makes it up to the next layer of the pyramid. The rest i lost because the animal doing the eating doesn't absorb all of the energy in the food, the animal moves around expending energy, some (quite a lot actually) is lost as heat in warm-blooded animals, etc. In fact very little of the energy absorbed by one layer of the pyramid through eating makes it up to the next layer.

Where do frogs store their energy?

we know that the sun is the main source of energy for all life processes.Now plants obtain light energy from the sun to perform photosynthesis and prepare food. This in turn is eaten by insects, which the frog feeds on.This, indirectly , the energy used by a leaping frog is actually the energy obtained from the sun. ----answered by Nistha Lahiri of class 8
