Question
lesson 25 - different forms of energy
why is the energy in food considered potential energy?
chemicals in food have kinetic energy
food is not considered potential energy
chemical bonds in food never break
chemical bonds in food store energy
Potential energy is stored energy. Chemical bonds in food store energy (chemical potential energy). Kinetic energy is energy of motion (so "chemicals in food have kinetic energy" is wrong). Food is considered potential energy (so "Food is not considered potential energy" is wrong). Chemical bonds in food do break (during digestion etc., so "chemical bonds in food never break" is wrong).
