Plants store energy in the form of carbohydrates, such as starch, to support their growth, reproduction, and defense mechanisms. This stored energy allows plants to survive periods of unfavorable conditions, such as drought or winter, by providing a source of fuel for essential metabolic processes when photosynthesis is limited.
Energy stored in green plants is classified as potential energy because it is not currently being used but has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy through processes like photosynthesis. This energy is stored in the form of sugars and other organic molecules, which can be released and used for metabolic processes when needed.
Light energy is not stored in the traditional sense like electricity in a battery. Light can be converted into other forms of energy, such as chemical energy in plants during photosynthesis or electrical energy in solar panels. However, once the light source is removed, the energy dissipates.
When the trees and vegetation were growing they took in solar energy through photosynthesis. This energy was stored in the plants as hydrocarbons. It remains there as the plants, over millions of years, become fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
The stored energy of plants is called 'chemical energy' and is stored in the form of carbohydrates, such as sugars and starches, produced through photosynthesis. This energy can be released through processes like respiration when the plant needs to use it for growth, reproduction, or other functions.
The potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atom is called nuclear energy. This energy is released through processes such as nuclear fission or fusion. It is the source of energy in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
how do organisms utilize the stored energy from green plants
Chemical Energy ~XDDXDD~
They use it for respiration to release energy.
The energy that is produced from the sun is stored in plants.

Energy stored in green plants is classified as potential energy because it is not currently being used but has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy through processes like photosynthesis. This energy is stored in the form of sugars and other organic molecules, which can be released and used for metabolic processes when needed.
Energy is stored in a food chain through the process of photosynthesis and chemical energy stored within plants. This energy is transferred to herbivores when they consume the plants, and then to carnivores when they consume the herbivores. The energy is stored in the chemical bonds of molecules like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
in energy
The source of chemical energy stored in plants is typically sunlight. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which is then used for growth, development, and energy storage.
In chemical bonds, in the molecule that we call Sugar.
It is stored as glycogen.
