There are so many energy systems in your body that this is not an easy question to answer completely. The cells in your body produce energy by converting chemicals into other chemicals releasing energy for use by your cells. Your brain is the largest energy consumer in your body, it runs everything. Your heart and lungs continue to operate, these use energy. All your internal organs continue to function while you sleep. In fact any bodily function classified as an autonomic function continues to operate. All your cells continue functioning internally. The only functions that do not continue are what are called voluntary functions. Such as walking, talking, or any other type of voluntary movement with a few occasional exceptions.

Where is kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is a energy through movement. When some thing moves, it is kinetic energy.
This type of light production is an example of energy being transformed into light energy.?
Yes, light production always involves some other energy being transformed into light energy.
What are some good examples of energy conversions?
When you turn on a light bulb, electric energy is converted into light and heat. The energy stored in food fuels the body heat and the body's chemical processes.
Does you body emit energy?
Yes, some tiny amount of energy as a consequence of electrochemical neural processes, but mostly infrared heat energy.
Is potential energy is energy that is stored or available for use by body?
Yes. You can also think of potential energy as energy applied against some force, such as gravity, the force of a spring, etc.
When you are walking on a cold day what is some of the energy in your body being used?
My energy to breath:)
When you are walking on a cold day what is some of the energy in your body being used for?
It is used to keep your body temperature at a constant temperature
What are some cool things your body dose while you are asleep?
Some of the cool things that you body does when you are asleep include relaxing your mind and heart, improving your memory, and curbing inflammation.
How are thermal energy and the kinectic energy of an object related?
kinetic energy is the energy that is being used in an object, and heat energy is in some cases the result, once the energy is used up. Such as, if you walk, you are using kinetic energy, your body heats up as a result, and you release the energy from your body in the form of heat.
Does the body use less oxygen while asleep or at rest?
Yes, but this may be different for some people.
Can you digest while asleep?
Yes, of course you do, the body continues to function while you sleep. You digest food while asleep but because you are at rest you burn less calories(energy) Also sleeping on a full stomach gives some people indigestion. And of course eating a lot also can make you feel sleepy!
Do you require food when you are sleeping?
No. You can't normally eat while sleeping. While you're asleep your body does require some energy to continue functioning, but what you've eaten during the day normally is more than sufficient for you.*Note: some sleepwalkers actually do eat while "sleeping", they're not actually asleep but in a self-induced catatonic (or hypnotic) state, and not fully aware of what they are doing.
Where do animals primarily store their extra energy?
The main store of energy is in the adipose tissue (body fat), with some also being stored in glycogen stores, for bursts of intense exercise.
Does napping help you to lose weight?
In some terms yes. When you're asleep your body is under going its functions such as the growth of hair and nails, repairing of skin ect. So while your asleep your body's metabolism is working to burn the fat you've consumed. I would think you would have to be asleep though, and not just resting your eyes.
Does a person go to with jesus right when they die?
I don't know for sure. Some scriptures speak to either being in the body (here) or being in the spirit (without the body) there with Christ. Other scriptures speak to those CHristians who have died as being asleep. Does this mean that having died physically their spirits are in a suspended state until such a time as Christ calls them to rise in the resurrection, or does it mean that their spirit has gone to be with CHrist but their body is in the grave (asleep)? Your guess is as good as mine. I want to believe that we go directly to be with Christ at the time of death, but what I want and what's true may be two different things.
Will your body possess energy after you die?
Yes, of course, in an amount corresponding to E = mc2. There will also be some thermal energy, assuming your body is not at absolute zero, and at least initially some chemical energy as well.
How does food affect your body?
it gives you energy and some foods have different affects on your body
