Answer:

A species refers to the group of similar organisms that can interbreed to produce a viable offspring. For example, <em>Homo sapiens </em>is a species of humans, <em>Panthera leo </em>refers to the species of lions et cetera.

In contrast, a population in ecology refers to the group of organisms of the same species living in a particular area. For example, the deer population in a forest, human population in a town et cetera.

For example, <em>Aptenodytes patagonicus </em>refers to a species of penguins but number of penguins of the same species living in a particular area would make up a penguin population of that area.

When we digest food, the molecules of the food are broken down into smaller compounds. Chemical energy is released due to this process. Chemical energy can be used to form glucose and fat. These molecules store energy in them. When energy is required by the body, the glucose molecules can be converted into ATP and hence give energy. This energy can be used for various purposes such as it can be converted into mechanical energy for muscle movements.
