Define biomass
The total mass of all living material in a specific area, habitat, or region. Biological material used as a fuel, or source of [energy].
Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of atoms and nuclear energy is stored in the subatomic particles of the nucleus. This stored energy is considered as
Potential energy
A plant undergoing the process of photosynthesis
Light to chemical
The more elastic the material, the more ______ energy it possesses.
potential
The difference between gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy is
Gravitational potential energy is energy stored due to its position in Earth.
Elastic potential energy is energy stored in elastic materials that are compressed or stretched.
