Potential energy is basically energy that can be used, but it is not yet in affect. Living organisms transform this kinetic energy within their cell.

Plants use their Chloroplasts, it's an organelle used in photosynthesis, essentially it turns sunlight (radiant energy), water and Carbon Dioxide into carbohydrates and oxygen. Animals (such as humans) then use these two things to live and reproduce, the only difference is that we're not plants, therefore we don't have chloroplats, we use mitochondria to form energy called ATP. Both ATP and the charbohydrates from photosynthesis are chemical energy.
