How do fossil fuels store energy?
Fossil fuels contain the chemical energy that plants and algae obtained from sunlight and then stored in sugars. Just as energy chemical energy is stored in sugars, chemical energy is stored in fossil fuels. All it takes to release it is enough heat and oxygen to cause the fuel to burn.
What is fuel stored in?
Chemical energy. Although kinetic energy is, in a sense, stored within fossil fuels (one may drop a piece of coal and it falls), the energy stored with a fossil fuel is chemical as it can only be accesed through a chemical reaction.
Describe the conversion of chemical energy to mechanical energy in your body?
We burn energy stored from food in our bonds between atoms. That energy converts into muscle energy to move our bodies.
Why do people burn coal and oil?
Heat can cause some matter to burn. Burning is a chemical change. When fuel burns, the energy stored inside it is released.
What happens to chemical energy that is stored in your body?
Energy is released and the chemical energy becomes kinetic energy of heat and light. If you burn a match the chemical bonds release its energy. When you blow out the match and you still see soot it means that not all the energy was released. yep
What is energy stored in food called?
"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.

When you burn coal oil and gas for energy how are you using stored energy from the Sun?
yes
When you burn a log what is happening from the energy standpoint?
The chemical energy stored in the log is converted into heat energy.
Is fiber stored for when you have no carbohydrates to burn?
No, fats are used as energy once your body has no carbohydrates left to burn.
What is the type of energy stored by fossil fuels such as coal?
combustible energy. it can burn at a very high temperature
What is fuel stored in?

How much energy is stored in one calorie?
it is a measurment of energy that is the amout to burn in one second or lift in one gram
What foods provides us with energy?
Fats - They provide energy to be stored in our bodies for when we most need it. Carbohydrates - The produce a quick release of energy. Protein - This controls your metabolic reactions so eating more of this will give you energy, as well as burn of some unwanted calories.
When fuels burn they release energy?
Yes, heat.
Describe the conversion of chemical energy to mechanical energy in your body?
We burn energy stored from food in our bonds between atoms. That energy converts into muscle energy to move our bodies.
How is chemical burn similar to nuclear fusion?
Energy is released - in one case from chemical potential energy stored in the electrical bonds, and in the other from the nuclear potential energy stored by the nucleons in the nucleus and seen as a reduction in mass.
