Detailed explanation-1: -In food, it’s a form of potential energy because it’s stored away. Then, through a process called chemical digestion, the bonds containing the stored energy are broken, releasing energy that our bodies then use. Chemical energy can also be converted from one form to another.

Detailed explanation-2: -When you eat food, your body can use the chemical energy in the food to make your muscles move so you can breathe, walk, run, jump, lift things, and do all the other things you need to do to live. The chemical energy in the food gets changed into the mechanical energy of moving muscles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chemical energy is energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules. This energy is released when a chemical reaction takes place. Usually, once chemical energy has been released from a substance, that substance is transformed into a completely new substance.

Detailed explanation-4: -the energy which is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds (molecules and atoms). It is released in the chemical reaction and mostly produces heat as a by-product, known as an exothermic reaction. Examples of stored chemical energy are biomass, batteries, natural gas, petroleum, and coal.

Detailed explanation-5: -The molecules in food have chemical energy. We transform this energy into other chemicals that allow us to generate heat, electrical, mechanical, and sound energies. Other chemicals are produced that our body gets rid of as waste.
