Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the different forms of energy: nuclear, chemical, kinetic, and thermal.
Nuclear energy is stored in the nucleus of atoms and is released during nuclear reactions, such as fission or fusion.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, which is not typically stored in food.
Thermal energy is related to the temperature of an object and is not stored in food as a primary form of energy.
Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, such as those found in food, and is released during chemical reactions, such as digestion.
