Chemical energy is associated with food. It is stored in the chemical bonds of atoms and molecules. It can only be seen when it is released in a chemical reaction. When chemical energy is released, the substance from which the energy came is often changed into a different substance. When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate in the food breaks down into another type of sugar called glucose.
  • The type of energy associated with food is ; chemical energy
  • The energy is stored as ; Molecular bonds
  • The chemical energy in the food when cooked is converted to nutrients needed by the body ( e.g.  glucose )

Food substances contain chemical energy which is found between the molecular bonds of the food substance. When food is cooked the chemical energy is converted to another form of chemical energy by the separation of the different classes of food stored in the food as chemical energy.

The food ( carbohydrates ) when digested will be converted to glucose or fat molecules, which is required by the human body for proper functioning/energy.

Hence we can conclude that the type of energy associated with food is ; chemical energy, the energy is stored as  Molecular bonds and the chemical energy in the food when cooked is converted to nutrients needed by the body ( e.g.  glucose )
