What happens when the person's work and heat output is greater than the energy consumed?

When the person outputs more work and heat than the energy in the food he ate,
he loses some weight. The energy has to come from somewhere, and one ready
source is the energy he previously stored as fat.

When do reactions that release energy happen?
The release of energy (exothermic reaction) happens when the energy release by forming the products of the reaction is greater than the energy required to break the bonds of the reactants.
What substance are produced and consumed in photosynthesis?
Oxygen+glucose are produced, CO2+water+ the energy from the sun light are consumed
Two hundred joules of energy are consumed in 10 s What is the power?
Simply divide energy by the time. Answer is in Watts.
Is the energy stored in the feces lost to the ecosystem why or why not?
The energy contained in the feces is not lost from the ecosystem. It can still be consumed by decomposers.
Will natural habitats be adversely affected by solar energy?
Does solar energy consumed natural resources which cannot be renewed
What happens to the energy in a consumer body when it dies?
Much of the energy is consumed by decomposers.
What do you think happens to the rest of the energy from the consumed organism?
released as heat
What happens if the food energy used is less than the food energy consumed?
you gain weight
What happens if more energy is consumed than is used up?
You are one with God and his fishes
What happens to chemical potential energy whenit is consumed?
It's never "consumed". It is converted into other forms of energy ... and at each conversion some is converted into heat. Sooner or later (with each conversion) it all turns into heat energy.
What happens when elements join?
Chemical bonds form, creating compounds. In some cases energy is released, in others energy is consumed.
What happens when a persons diet contains too much Energy?
They get hyper. Simple.
What happens to the amount of energy as it passed from producers to the first order consumers then to the second order consumers?
90% of the energy is lost every time something is consumed.
What happens to energy when it is NOT passed from one trophic level to another?
I dont think the energy can't transfer it will probably be consumed by a scavenger or be chemically borken down by a decomposer.
What happens when a heated liquid turns into a gas?
Its particles acquire greater kinetic energy.
Is water vapor to ice consumed or released energy?
consumed
Why does a persons weight not remain at 500kg even though he has consumed 500kg of food?
Because some of the food gets pooped out and some of them are used for energy which later we burn off :)
