Chemical energy is energy stored in materials. Materials possess chemical energy due to or owing to
their molecular structures. When chemical energy is released, it becomes kinetic/mechanical energy.
Furthermore, when chemical energy is released, a new substance is formed different from the original material.
When you actually take in food, you actually take in stored energy. It is digested or broken down into simple
form (sugar,protein) that can be absorbed and used by the different parts of the body.

Moving persons or objects possess mechanical energy. It can be produced through energy
transformation. For example, in walking, running or jumping, we use mechanical energy caused by the release
and transformation of the chemical energy in food we have eaten. A moving vehicle, a running machine uses
mechanical energy, made possible by the release and transformation of energy from fuel.
