In living cells, energy in action is defined as kinetic energy.

<h3>What do you mean by kinetic energy in living cells?</h3>

In general, there are two forms of energy: kinetic energy, or the energy produced when an object is placed in motion, and potential energy, or stored energy, like that contained in a bowl of cereal or a tank of gas. Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy and used for work by all living organisms. In particular, the potential energy in the bonds of the tiny molecule ATP can drive the contraction of muscle cells to move a limb or the movement of a motor protein and its cargo along a microtubule track (kinetic energy). When moving, the human body produces kinetic energy.
