Chemical energy. Our bodies literally chemically burn fuel received from food and absorb the energy released, using it to turn adenosine diphosphate (ADP) back into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Then our bodies break the ATP back down into ADP, using the energy released for everything in our bodies that requires energy for it to happen.
