Step-by-step explanation:

Energy is the ability to do work. There are two main forms of energy, potential and kinetic energy.

Potential energy is the energy at rest in a body

Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion

  • Energy is usually transferred throughout living systems when are transformed from one form to another.
  • For example, chemical energy in food produced by plants is taken by animals as food.
  • They then convert the chemical energy into other forms of energy like heat energy which they use for their daily activities.
