How does shivering help your body control its internal temperature?
Shivering is the involuntary contraction and relaxation of your muscles. When muscles contract they use energy, which is released by 'burning' sugar. Some of the energy which is released escapes as heat and this raises the temperature of the body.
What is the type of energy you use in your body?
The two major types of energy used in the body is Chemical Energy where energy is stored in bonds between chemical substrates adn when the bonds are released so is the energy and Electrical Energy where energy comes from the movement of charged particles across or down a cell membrane.
True or false potential energy is energy that is stored or is available for use by a body for example coal has potential energy that is released only when it is burned?
True, in the case of coal it is potential chemical energy
How do organisms harness energy to live?
Living organisms use the energy released from he exergonic process to drive the endergonic process
How is solar energy released?
solar energy is released by the sun
Where does energy released from food go?
Into the Body Cells.
Is the energy in food released rapidly into our bodies?
No, the body has to process the food before the energy can be accessed.
What happens when food gets digested in your body?
When food gets digested in our body, energy is released after its breakdown.
What is the body's molecule for energy?
ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is the end product of cellular respiration. It is the energy that is released by the mitochondria.
Can energy released during a chemical reaction be absorbed?
Yes, for ex. thermal energy.
Why must food be digested?
Digestion is necessary because for energy from the food to be released and carried into the cells in our body the food must be broken down into soluble molecules for it to diffuse into the cells. Then energy is released during respiration.
What energy occurs first potential or kinetic?
Energy is possessed by virtue of position, shape or motion or all the three properties. Generally potential energy is at first stored in a body which is released as kinetic energy when the body is in motion. But suppose if a body is thrown upwards vertically its kinetic energy gets converted into potential energy.

How is the energy in food released in to the body?
cellular respiration.
What happens to energy when food molecules break down?
released entirely as body heat into the environment.
Why does food give the body energy?
It contains some sort of sugar called glucose or starch. When we eat it, the glucose or starch is released. When respiration(sugar+oxygen converted into carbon dioxide+energy+water) occurs, energy is released.
