Food in the form of unused calories (energy) is stored as body fat.
Yes, that's correct. The potential energy stored in foods and fuels is released when these substances are burned or metabolized, converting the potential energy into forms such as heat, light, or mechanical energy.
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.
chemical energy
yes.
calorie
Kilo joules are used to measure the amount of energy stored in food.
cellular respiration
This is chemical energy, since chemical reactions are required to release it
Chemical energy is potential energy stored in the chemical bonds that hold chemical compounds together. Chemical energy is stored in the foods you eat. So, the answer is chemical energy/potential energy.
Chemical energy is potential energy stored in the chemical bonds that hold chemical compounds together. Chemical energy is stored in the foods you eat. So, the answer is chemical energy/potential energy.
The energy from foods that is not used directly is stored in a high-energy molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP serves as the primary energy currency in cells and is used to fuel various cellular processes and activities.
Stored foods in plants serve as reserves of energy and nutrients that can be used during times of limited resources, such as in periods of dormancy or when resources for growth and reproduction are scarce. These stored foods can be mobilized to support new growth, seed germination, or for survival during stressful conditions.
