Gravitational and Alastic
A candy bar has potential energy stored in its chemical bonds. When the candy bar is eaten and broken down by the body, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy that fuels various bodily functions.
Cellular respiration
A piece of celery contains potential energy, which is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy when the celery is consumed and its nutrients are broken down by the body to fuel various biological processes.
Most of the energy in the box comes from the potential energy stored in the food molecules. When the food is digested and broken down, this potential energy is converted into chemical energy that can be used by the body for various functions and activities.
Yes, food energy is a type of potential energy stored in the chemical bonds of food molecules. When food is consumed and broken down during digestion, this potential energy is released and converted into a form that the body can use for various physiological functions.
Sugar is a form of potential energy because it contains chemical energy that can be released when it is broken down through processes like digestion or combustion. This stored energy can be harnessed to do work or power biological processes.
Food energy (calories) can be viewed as molecular potential energy because the bonds within the molecules of food store energy. When food is broken down during digestion, these bonds are broken, releasing energy that can be used by the body for various functions such as movement, growth, and maintenance of bodily functions.
Chemical energy is a form of potential energy stored in the bonds of chemicals. When these bonds are broken, the potential energy is converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy.
When food is broken down the stored energy is in your cells. When the energy is needed, the cells release the energy.
The form of energy stored in food is called chemical energy. This energy is released when the bonds in food molecules are broken down during digestion.
It is potential energy. It becomes kinetic when a bond is broken.
The type of energy that an object has due to its motion or position is called mechanical energy. It can be further broken down into kinetic energy (energy of motion) and potential energy (energy of position).
