How is food a source of chemical potential energy?

Answer 1

Food is a chemical energy because the energy is released during digestion. The molecules in our foods are broken down into small pieces. When the bonds between them loosen or break then a chemical reaction occurs.

Answer 2

Food contains molecules like carbohydrates, fats, and proteins that can be broken down through chemical reactions in our bodies to release energy. This stored energy in these molecules is in the form of chemical bonds, and when these bonds are broken, energy is released and can be used to fuel various cellular processes in the body.

Answer 3

Chemical energy: is the potential of a chemical substances to undergo a transformation through a chemical reactions or to transform other chemical substances

The uses of chemical energy is to Produce Electricity "Electric current" like Primary cells "Dry cell" "Mercury cell"

I also Think It's the energy of bond breaking and bond formation

Answer 4

Food provides for motion and / or temperature increase, but is not itself "hot" nor is it necessarily moving. The energy it represents is stored in chemical bonds, which can be reduced / oxidized to lower energy bonds.

Answer 5

See,chemical energy is an irreversible process and most of the common reactions occuring around us constitutes of it.Plant cells require chemical energy in form of heat energy for performing photosynthesis and thus for their survival.Basically , chemical energy is evn required by us in our daily routines..u give some examples...

Answer 6

Food stores energy in chemical forms, and as such, holds potential energy. The body metabolizes sugar from the food we eat and converts this potential energy into kinetic energy (muscle movement), thermal energy (heat), and electrochemical energy (nerve impulses).

Answer 7

All foods with carbohydrates, fats, protein or alcohol contain calories in the form of chemical energy.

Answer 8

Because food we eat combined with the oxygen we breathe stores chemical potential energy in our bodies allowing us to keep warm and energetic

hope it helped a little

Answer 9

Yes! Because your body converts the chemical (food) into energy to be stored for when it needs is!

Answer 10

yes it is true.
