It is both types of energy actually (potential and kinetic). The act of chewing involves kinetic energy (moving your jaw, the energy burned processing the food, etc.). When you consume the nutrients in the food, they are converted to potential energy which when used is then converted to kinetic energy when you use the muscles for more chewing, walking, breathing, etc. So, you turn potential energy, stored in glucose in your muscles, into kinetic energy when you chew the food by moving those muscles and digest the nutrients, which stores up more potential energy to be converted into other examples of kinetic energy when you burn that fuel for walking, running, living. Bit of a big circle.
Chewing food is a physical change but is necessary to release chemical energy from the food. Chewing food helps the chemical process go to completion, sort of like crushing a substance before recrystallizing.
Chewing food affects your body's ability to release the chemical energy of the food. This is where digestion begins with the saliva releasing enzymes to break down food.
mechanical (or kinetic energy) plus chemical energy
muscle energy

chewing food
the form of energy the body use is food
Potential energy
Electric energy
"Stored" is another form of potential energy. You can burn the food to release the potential energy. It is potential, because the food is not a source of kinetic energy until it is in a food fight.

Chewing on the food
Energy enters a food chain in the form of sunlight, and leaves the food chain in the form of heat.
We humans (as well as animals) get the energy we need from our food. This energy is stored in the food, in the form of chemical energy.
Food has chemical energy.
Food has chemical energy.
Yes because you need the energy from the fat from when you are not eating. When you are eating you get the energy from the food while you are chewing it up.
chewing allows you to get the ntrients out of your food
Calories are units of energy provided by food.
the form of energy the body use is food
