*Energy is the capacity to do work or cause change* Organisms store energy in organic molecules as chemical energy* Free energy is the portion of energy released during chemical reactions that is available to do work* -
All the time! Every bit of energy used by any organism is the result of some type of chemical reaction.
chemical energy
Yes, photosynthesis is what converts the light energy from the sun into the usable chemical energy that organisms use.

energy
Just 2 of the possible answers:Plants use external energy - light (photo-electric energy) for photosynthesis and make glucose. So in this example light energy --> chemical energyMany living organisms use chemical energy stored in their cells as fat/glucose/starch/ATP for heat and movement. So chemical energy --> thermal energy or chemical energy --> kinetic energy.
no
Chemical energy
for growth, repairing cells, to move, for cellular work

ATP
Chemical energy is stored in carbohydrates (starches) and lipids (fats).

Yes
energy
plants using photosynthesis
Organisms use photosynthesis in order to use the sun's energy into chemical energy. The chemical energy is stored in sugars which are synthesized from water and carbon dioxide.
