Fat supplies 60 percent of the body's ongoing energy needs during rest.
The organelle that releases stored energy which comes mostly from sugars is the mitochondrion. It is called the powerhouse of a cell.
The energy stored in wind comes from the sun's uneven heating of the Earth's surface, which causes air to move and create wind. The energy stored in waves comes from the wind transferring its energy to the surface of the water, causing it to move and create waves.
The Sun fuses hydrogen-1, converting it into helium-4. Thus, the energy comes from the nuclear energy stored in the hydrogen.

We humans (as well as animals) get the energy we need from our food. This energy is stored in the food, in the form of chemical energy.
In heterotrophs, energy for life processes comes from the chemical energy stored in the bonds of organic molecules, such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. This energy is released through processes like cellular respiration to fuel cellular activities.
The energy in rice originally comes from the sun. Through the process of photosynthesis, rice plants convert sunlight into chemical energy stored in the form of carbohydrates like starch. When we eat rice, we are essentially consuming that stored energy.
Thermal energy is stored inside any living organisms because of their body heat
