How is energy associated with food stored? a. potential energy in chemical form b. kinetic energy in chemical form c. potential energy in mechanical form d. kinetic energy in mechanical form

The energy associated with the food is stored as potential energy in chemical form. The energy from the food we eat can be derived from it only when it has been properly digested, and had undergone multiple chemical reactions. The energy in the food remains unavailable until it is properly processed. It is stored in the form of potential energy present in the chemical form inside the food.

Hence, the answer is option (a) - potential energy in chemical form.

i have to report this, it doesn't relate to biology

answer; hypnagogic sensations)
