⚛️ Chemical Energy
Explore the hidden energy stored in the chemical bonds of matter and how living things use it to survive and grow. This quiz covers the fundamentals of chemical energy, from combustion and respiration to batteries and food, and examines the difference between processes that release and absorb energy. **What you'll learn:** - Define chemical energy and recognize it stored in chemical bonds - Identify exothermic reactions that release energy (combustion, respiration, batteries) - Understand how food provides chemical energy for living organisms - Distinguish between exothermic and endothermic processes - Explain energy transformations in everyday fuel sources and biological systems
