When resting your body gets 50 percent energy from glucose and 50 percent from?
Fats and Proteins, I suppose.
How much of the available energy stored in glucose is converted to ATP?
About 67& of the energy in glucose is converted to ATP. The rest is lost as heat.
Carbohydrates are essential to provide energy for the body because?
Carbohydrates are essential to provide energy for the body because they are quickest source of the energy for the body. They meet the body's immediate energy needs and are the first source of the energy the body uses.
What is the specific heat capacity of human body?
With regard to work output vs. caloric input, the thermodynamic efficiency of a human being is about 25%. This comes from measuring the work output of cyclists compared to the oxygen they consume. However, some of the energy value of the food people eat exits the body unused, because it is not metabolized. The unused portion might be 1/3 to 1/2 of the total energy value ingested. When the unused food energy value is included, the thermodynamic efficiency thus drops to 13% to 17%.
Why cholesterol do not provide energy to body?
cholesterol do not provide energy to body because the energy that contains the it wastes ots of energy so it doesnt provide energy.
What is the approximate percentage efficiency of conversion of food energy to ATP energy in the body?
The body converts the chemical energy of food to the chemical energy of ATP with about 50 percent efficiency, radiating the rest as heat.
How sugar is that energy used in your body be specific about the conversion that occurs?
chemical energy is good to our body
What energy conversion is going on in the body as energy from food is turned into fat?
You start to weigh more.
What type of energy conversion is going on in the body as energy from food is turned into fat?
thermal to chemical
What amount of the Body's energy is supplied by fat?
Fat supplies 60 percent of the body's energy
What is the energy conversion while liting a match stick?
Chemical energy in your body to the Gravitational Potential Energy of the match stick.
Is food being digested and used to regulate body temperature A conversion of chemical energy to thermal energy?
yes because the rainbow dancing unicorn burns the inside of a humans body when food is digested so there is a conversion from the chemical to thermal energy.
Describe an energy conversion involving chemical energy?
The chemical energy of food is converted into kinetic energy when you are active, and thermal to maintain body temperature.
Describe the conversion of chemical energy to mechanical energy in your body?
We burn energy stored from food in our bonds between atoms. That energy converts into muscle energy to move our bodies.
The high body temperature of birds and mammals is due to?
Conversion of energy to heat during metabolism
When resting your body gets 50 percent energy from glucose and 50 percent from?
Fats and Proteins, I suppose.
What is the conversion of chemical energy to mechanical energy in your body?
I'm assuming it is digestion. I'm on the same question in this science packet at the moment :P
