It depends what you mean. Food is made up of many kinds of molecules- fats, proteins, carbohydrates.
The energy of these molecules is stored in their bonds. C-C bonds, C-O bonds O-H bonds and C-H bonds.
When the food enters your body these macromolecules (proteins etc..) are broken down by specific enzymes and form metabolites. (bonds are broken release energy and new bonds made require energy). Different metabolites feed into a catabolic pathway (some enter at glycolysis, krebs cycle, B oxidation pathway) and are oxidised to release energy. Energy in the body can then be stored in the universal energy storage molecule called ATP but some energy is released as heat.
Conversely, the macromolecules can be resynthesised and stored ready to be broken down when required. Fats are stored in specific fat cells around the body.

Where the energy and food is stored until it i released?
It is in movement
Where the energy in food is stored until it is released?
Mitochondria
Where is the energy in food stored untile it is released?
Mitochondria
Where is energy content of food stored?
It is essentially chemical energy, which is released when the food is digested in the stomach
Chemical energy stored in food molecules is released through what?
Cellular Respiration !!
What energy is stored in foods?
The type of energy that is stored in food is called chemical potential energy.. This energy is stored until it is ready to be used.
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 . . :-)
Which of a cell's organelles energy stored in food?
Mitochrondria releases energy stored in food.
What release energy stored in food?
The mitochondria releases energy stored in food which is in cells.
What does mitochondria change food into?
Glucose is oxidized into CO2.Released energy is stored in ATP.
What is the name of the energy released from food in a chemical reaction called?
Respiration is the series of chemical reactions used to release energy stored in food molecules. it is also the process by which producers and consumers release stored energy from food molecules.
When is energy stored in food released?
Energy stored in food is released during the process of cellular respiration. This happens when the food molecules are broken down in the presence of oxygen in the cells, which releases energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This energy is then used by the cells to carry out various life processes.
