Organisms use chemical energy in various ways, such as converting glucose into ATP for cellular energy, breaking down complex molecules for growth and repair, and storing energy in the form of glycogen or fat for future use. Many organisms also rely on chemical energy for processes like muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and maintaining body temperature.
Objects such as batteries, fuel cells, and living organisms like plants use chemical energy to power their functions. Chemical energy is stored in the form of molecules and is converted into other forms of energy when the objects undergo chemical reactions.
Chemical energy
Organisms that use an outside energy source, such as sunlight, typically make their own food through the process of photosynthesis. This process allows them to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which they can then use as a source of energy for growth and maintenance.
Organisms use proteins as catalysts for chemical reactions, enzymes to facilitate reactions, and metabolic pathways to break down and build molecules. These processes require energy in the form of ATP to carry out the chemical activities of life.
ATP
photosynthesis
Yes, photosynthesis is what converts the light energy from the sun into the usable chemical energy that organisms use.
Chemical energy is stored in carbohydrates (starches) and lipids (fats).
Chemical energy
Yes, the Sun emits light energy in the form of photons. Plants use the process of photosynthesis to capture these photons and convert them into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This chemical energy is stored in the plants and can be transferred through the food chain to other organisms.
All prokaryotic organisms. Prokaryotes are more commonly known as plants. Plants use the energy from the sun, water, and CO2 to produce glucose and O2 (oxygen) in a process called photosynthesis.
