Where do living things transform kinetic energy into potential chemical energy?

Potential energy is basically energy that can be used, but it is not yet in affect. Living organisms transform this kinetic energy within their cell.
Plants use their Chloroplasts, it's an organelle used in photosynthesis, essentially it turns sunlight (radiant energy), water and Carbon Dioxide into carbohydrates and oxygen. Animals (such as humans) then use these two things to live and reproduce, the only difference is that we're not plants, therefore we don't have chloroplats, we use mitochondria to form energy called ATP. Both ATP and the charbohydrates from photosynthesis are chemical energy.

Transform the chemical energy in the food you eat into?
Kinetic energy
How was chemical energy transformed?
I think the chemical energy in glucoseI transform to chemical energy in ATP. The chemical energy in ATP is transform to heat and Kinetic energyin the cell.
Is a chemical energy a type of potential or kinetic energy?
Chemical energy is a type of potential energy.
What is an example of how potential energy can transform into kinetic energy?
A rock falling of a cliff.
Is the energy sstored in a covalent bond a form of Chemical kinetic energy or chemical potential energy?
Chemical potential energy
Hands moving on a battery operated clock is an example of what kind of energy conversion?
Kinetic energy being converted to chemical potential energy
Exercise may transform the chemical energy in the food you eat into?
Chemical energy in the form of the glucose in our food is turned into mechanical energy
Is coasting downhill on a bike a chemical energy?
No, it's potential energy turning into kinetic energy.
The chemical potential energy of a rocket is converted to what kind of energy?
The Chemical Potential Energy stored in a rocket will be converted to Kinetic Energy because the chemical fuel will launch the rocket into motion (Kinetic Energy).
Is chemical energy kinetic energy or potential energy?
It is a form of potential energy.
Is glycolysis potential or kinetic energy?
chemical
Is hydropower a chemical energy?
No, hydropower is not chemical energy. It is potential plus kinetic energy.
