The chemical energy to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) primarily comes from the breakdown of glucose through the process of cellular respiration. Glucose is metabolized into ATP through a series of chemical reactions that occur in the mitochondria of cells, where energy is stored in the form of ATP molecules.
It originally came from the sun and was stored in chemical bonds by plants during photosynthesis.

The energy captured in glucose ultimately comes from the sun. During photosynthesis, plants absorb sunlight and convert it into chemical energy stored in glucose molecules. Organisms then utilize this stored energy in glucose through cellular respiration to fuel their life processes.
The path of chemical energy from the sun starts when the light energy of the sun is converted to glucose in a plant through photosynthesis. The fish then eats the plant matter and its cells perform cellular respiration, breaking down the glucose and releasing the chemical energy inside.
i think the glucose is the left over energy from when it had been germinating! :)
The energy to move your hand comes from chemical reactions within your body, primarily from the breakdown of glucose through a process called cellular respiration. This energy is then used by your muscles to contract and generate movement.
Plants use sunlight as the primary source of energy to carry out photosynthesis. The sunlight is absorbed by pigments in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where the light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
Chemical energy.
Electricity is Energy. But this energy can come from a chemical reaction as in batteries, normal and rechargeable.
I am powered by electricity, which is supplied to me from a power source.
Glucose getconvertedto carbon bi oxide and water molecule, during oxidation in both the biological oxidation and chemical oxidation. One glucose molecule gives 6 carbon bi oxide and 6 water molecules.(C6H12O6 + 6 O2 = 6 CO2 + H2O.) In biological oxidation glucose is broken down in step wise manner. In about 22 steps, energy is released. So cell does not get burned due to sudden release of energy. So this is like, you come down from the two story building via staircase, step by step. So you do notinjure yourself. In chemical oxidation glucose burn in one step only. So it is like jumping from the two story building. You will get injured. In biological oxidation, you get the intermediate products of low energy. (At few times high energy.) As ultimate products of both biological oxidation and chemical oxidation are same, the energy released is same. Not a photon more or less, provided temperature of glucose and temperature and pressure of end products is same. In biological oxidation, you get some energy stored in body in the form of ATP molecules. Which is utilized for various metabolic processes, required by cell. Rest is released in the form of heat. That is also useful to maintain body temperature. This is in accordance to the Law ofconservationof energy in chemical reactions. It remains constant and can change the form of energy.
