Kinetic vs Potential Energy
Energy in motion or stored
Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity; potential energy is stored due to position (gravitational), configuration (elastic), or fields.
- kinetic
- potential
- energy
- gravity
- elastic
Define
Kinetic = 1/2mv^2; potential from position/fields.
Examples
Falling objects convert potential to kinetic; springs store elastic energy.
Conservation
Energy transforms but total remains constant in closed systems.

Comparison
Mitosis vs Meiosis
Mitosis makes matching cells for growth and repair, while meiosis creates sex cells and introduces genetic variation.
