How do you get the energy your body needs?
You get the energy you need by eating food. Your body makes energy with the nutritions in the food. It can make kinetic energy or potential energy.
What type of energy does food store?
Food stores fat. Fat is an energy source of the body.
Is it necessary to have fats in your body?
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.
Where does the food you eat obtain the energy contained in it?
The food you eat obtained the energy contained in it by eating plants, and or eating other organisms which ate plants. Plants obtain energy by a process known as photosynthesis in which they receive energy from the sun (photons) and store it in sugars such as chlorophyll. These sugars are starches and other carbohydrates which can be broken down and the stored energy is released and used by your body.
Does the stomach store food energy and nutrients until body needs them?
No. stomach does not store the food. It digest the proteins to some extent.
How many days can you stop eating before your body starts storing fat?
You body only stores EXCESS food as fat. Thus if you are starving yourself you will not have any excess food to store as fat. Indeed if you stop eating your body will start to use your fat stores as food.
How does grass store energy?
they get energy from the sunlight also by photosynthesis
What is are the body's primary and immediate source of energy?
That would be food of any kind as longest the body gets food and its digested it will extract all the vitamins and minerals it needs to survive. As the body breaks down the food its store's fats into the body for energy.

How do you get your energy?
Eating and drinking, for heterotrophs and photosynthesis and other autotrophic behavior for autotrophs.
Why do you need to store energy in your bodies?
We store energy in our bodies to use it. Every movement in our body, including simple things like raising our hands require energy. Without energy, we would not be able to do anything. In order to make it more 'convenient', without having to consume food or drinks when we need energy, we store energy in our bodies so that we can use it when we need it.
Is the only way your body can store energy from food is in the form of body fat?
False. Your body can store energy from food for future use in two ways: 1) as fat and 2) as muscle fuel (called glycogen). Its first priority is to fill its glycogen tanks, because glycogen is the body's primary source of energy for physical activity. Once your glycogen stores are filled and the rest of the body's energy needs are covered, all the extra energy from your food will be stored as body fat.
