in heat capacity, "it takes a lot of energy to heat it up", but what form of energy is used? is it just heat energy or any form of energy?
thanks

I will preface my response by saying that I am at a basic level of knowledge, so please take my comment as guidance rather than fact.
My understanding:
Heat is a form of energy. Heat makes molecules vibrate more quickly.
Hydrogen bonds (between water molecules) can absorb a lot of energy (heat) meaning that it takes a lot of energy to change the temperature of water.
I found this on a website which explains it a little further:
The distinction between heat and temperature is subtle but very important. Heat refers to the transfer of energy between systems (or bodies), whereas temperature is determined by the energy contained within a singular system (or body). In other words, heat is energy, while temperature is a measure of energy.
