Cellular energy is stored long term in the form of molecules such as glycogen in muscle cells and the liver, and triglycerides in adipose tissue. These molecules can be broken down to release energy when needed by the body.
Stored energy
The primary energy reserve stored in the body is glycogen, which is stored in the liver and muscles. Additionally, the body can also store energy in the form of adipose tissue (body fat) for long-term energy storage.

Potential energy.
Another name for gravitational potential energy is potential energy due to gravity.
Glycogen stored in the liver and muscles is the short-term energy source used after cellular glucose supplies are depleted. Glycogen is broken down into glucose to provide a rapid source of energy for the body.
Energy in living beings is stored as chemical energy. For long-term energy storage a sugar is used; for short-term energy storage, ATP.
Stored energy
No. In general, there is no way to store heat energy (thermal energy) long-term.
Mitochondria generate the cell's energy by the process of oxidative phosphorylation, utilizing oxygen to release energy stored in cellular nutrients
Fat.
The long term energy system uses carbohydrates stored in muscles, liver and blood stream or fats.
A cell uses molecules like glycogen and triglycerides for long-term energy storage. Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles, while triglycerides are stored in adipose tissue.
The primary energy reserve stored in the body is glycogen, which is stored in the liver and muscles. Additionally, the body can also store energy in the form of adipose tissue (body fat) for long-term energy storage.
When plants store sugar they store it as food
Glycogen is the primary long-term energy storage molecule in humans. It is mainly stored in the liver and muscles and can be broken down into glucose to provide energy when needed. Additionally, adipose tissue (body fat) serves as a secondary long-term energy store in humans.
Glucose is a simple sugar that is carried through the blood for short-term energy needs. Excess glucose can be converted and stored as glycogen for later energy use in the liver and muscles. Long-term energy needs are typically met by utilizing stored fat reserves.
