What kind of stored energy has the potential to move?
Stored energy on wheels.
What do you call stored energy that is ready to be used?
When energy is stored, it is called potential energy.
How much energy is transferred from a producer to a primary consumer?
If a herbivore eats producer materials containing 100 kJ of stored energy, then the energy stored in its body tissues is only 4 kJ. Thus only 4% of the food eaten is stored within the herbivores tissues.

What function does starch have on the body?
It provides a slow release of energy. It can be stored in the liver, muscles or tissues and extra starch is broken down into simple sugars and stored as fat.
How is energy stored in plant and animal fuels?
In humans and animals, most glycogen is stored as granules. when the body needs energy, it breaks down the glycogen granules into energy.
Is the energy stored in food heat energy?
Energy is stored in many ways. Energy is stored in food. We eat the food to get energy. Energy can also be stored in other ways, such as batteries.Sources of stored energy take many forms like food, fuel and batteries. All energy on the Earth comes from the Sun.Heat from the sun warms everything on the Earth. Light and heat are forms of energy, which come directly from the Sun. Plants, use the energy from sunlight to make food. Energy from the sun is stored in leaves, stems, roots and fruits. When an animal eats plants it gets the energy stored inside the plant.Animals eat plants and get the energy stored in plant tissues. They utilize this energy for various activities like running, climbing, hunting and keeping warm. Food we eat contains energy to power our bodies.Fuels such as oil and coal contain huge amounts of energy. Energy released from these fuels, wind and water can be changed into electricity. Energy is needed for almost all activities that make up our lives.thank u . . :-)
Why is there more energy at the bottom of an energy chain than at the top?
Any animal uses up most of the energy it eats; only a small amount of energy gets stored in its tissues (especially muscles, i.e., the meat we eat).
What energy is energy that is stored?
Energy that is stored is called kinetic energy.
What type of energy of rest or stored energy?

Is energy that is stored in an object?
Stored Energy.
