Q

chemical potential energy.

A

the chemical energy is stored in organic food for example glucose in the form of chemical potential energy. to release the energy from the molecules, a very specific process takes place in each living cell. THIS PROCESS IS CALLED CELLULAR RESPIRATION.

Q

energy is photosynthesis and cellular respiration

A

the two processes, photosynthesis and respiration, are bothe essential to allow energy to flow from the sun to all the organisms in the food (plants and animals) in an ecosystem.
