Cellulose as far as I'm aware. The equation for photosynthesis involves creating simple sugars. These sugars then further "polymerise" (don't know if that's the biological term) to create complex sugars such as lignen and the like.
Plants contain chemical energy that was made from radiant energy in the form of sunlight during the process of photosynthesis.
The chemical energy made by photosynthesis is in the form of glucose, a simple sugar molecule. This glucose can then be used by plants as a source of energy for growth and maintenance or stored for later use.
Batteries store energy in chemical form and release it as electrical energy when connected to a circuit. Capacitors store energy in an electric field and release it quickly when connected to a circuit.
Plants use the sun's energy to make sugar. During photosynthesis, chemical energy is stored in the fruits, grains, and vegetables made by the sun's energy. Chemical energy in this case is a food made by the sun. In this whole process, light energy is being converted into chemical energy.
Plants store starch as their main carbohydrate for later energy use. Starch is a polymer made up of glucose units that can be broken down into glucose when the plant needs energy for growth or metabolism.
That's not a word, dumbs. A POLYMER is a molecule composed of many monomers (subunits). Some examples of Polymers are... -Starch: a few hundred glucose molecules strung together, used by plants such as potatoes to store chemical energy -Glycogen: used to store chemical energy in animals, made of long strings of glucose -Proteins: composed of many amino acids strung together
You could eat it. The calories in it are a measure of the energy it stores for nutrition. You could, perhaps, dry it and then burn it for heat. Bit of a waste of a good potato if you ask me. You could stick a length of copper and a length of zinc into it and use it to provide electrical energy. It's not as good as lemons, but it still works. It occurs to me that if you throw the potato, it will have kinetic energy but the energy has been put into the potato by your arm, so that probably doesn't count.
Chemical energy ... in food ... which plants made from solar energy, water, and dirt.
Plants store carbohydrates as starch for later use. Starch is a polysaccharide made up of glucose molecules and serves as a long-term energy storage molecule for plants.
Plants use the sun's energy to make sugar. During photosynthesis, chemical energy is stored in the fruits, grains, and vegetables made by the sun's energy. Chemical energy in this case is a food made by the sun. In this whole process, light energy is being converted into chemical energy.
A battery is a form of chemical energy because it relies on chemical reactions within the battery to produce and store electrical energy. When the battery is in use, these chemical reactions generate electrons that flow through a circuit, producing the electrical energy that powers devices.
Electricity is not made in plants. Most electricity is generated in power plants using a variety of sources such as coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar energy. Plants utilize photosynthesis to convert sunlight into chemical energy, but they do not produce electricity.
