In the resting state, energy helps circulation, respiration, digestion, excretion and other functions performed by vital organs. Seven percent of your total energy supply keeps your body warm. Energy needs differ according to age, gender, body composition, health status, diet and activity level.

Why do you need energy in your body?

You need energy in your body because if you don't have energy then you can't, exercise, work, or pretty much do anything that you normally do.


Why do you need to store energy in your bodies?

We store energy in our bodies to use it. Every movement in our body, including simple things like raising our hands require energy. Without energy, we would not be able to do anything. In order to make it more 'convenient', without having to consume food or drinks when we need energy, we store energy in our bodies so that we can use it when we need it.


Why do you need chemical energy to produce kinetic energy?

There are many ways to convert one form of energy into another form. We do have to start with energy (or in the case of an atomic bomb, mass-energy) in order to make another form of energy because it is impossible to make energy out of nothing (as stated in the law of conservation of mass-energy). Since the human body runs on chemical energy, we do use some degree of chemical energy in everything we do - even thinking requires it, not just the movement of muscles. If I cut a rope that is holding up a weight, which then falls, I would then be converting gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy - although even then, some chemical energy would also be involved in moving my hand in order to cut the rope.


True or false kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body in motion the form of energy shown by a stationary train is kinetic energy-?

Kinetic energy is possessed by a moving body, that is true. But if the train is stationary it cannot have kinetic energy.

Why do humans get tired and sleepy?

Human get tired and sleepy as chemical potential energy in our body is transferred to other forms of energy(kinetic energy when moving).Hence, the chemical potential energy gets used up and you get tired and to restore this energy u will need food:).


What is the role of metabolism in living organisms?

Our bodies get the energy they need from food through metabolism, the chemical reactions in the body's cells that convert the fuel from food into the energy needed to do everything from moving, to thinking, to growing.


Why do you need carbohydrate for your body?

Your body doesn't necessarily need carbohydrates, as long as it can get its energy from proteins and fats. But consuming carbohydrates are the fastest way to give your body the energy it need to carry out its daily functions.

To turn food into smaller molecules so that food can be absorbed and later turned into energy for us to use.
