When we're active we're using more of our muscles including our skeletal, heart and breathing muscles. All of this muscular contraction takes energy in the form of ATP which we get by breaking down glucose.

Would you expect to find more mitochondria in liver cells which are very active or in teeth cells which are less active Why?

active cells or cells such as in brown fat(found in babies for extra warmth). mitochondira make energy available for the cell. so cells that need a lot of energy would have extra mirochondion.


What energy does the human body use while running?

The human body primarily uses carbohydrates and fats as energy sources while running. For short bursts of intense activity, such as sprinting, the body relies more on carbohydrates for quick energy. As the duration of running increases, the body shifts to utilizing more fat for energy to sustain endurance.


What type of cellular transport requires a cell to use energy?

facilated diffusion cause when yer active you use energy


What does active transport require the use of?

Energy


How is lactic aid removed from the body?

It is not removed. The lactic acid contains a lot of energy so the body can use it to release more energy The lactic acid passes into the blood and it is transported to the liver where it is converted into a respiratory substrate called pyruvate The body can then use the energy in pyruvate to make more ATP which is the energy currency of the body. This produces water and carbon dioxide


Do you use more energy when you are hot or cold?

The body generally uses more energy when it is cold because it needs to work harder to maintain its core temperature. In cold conditions, the body must use energy to shiver and generate heat to stay warm, resulting in increased calorie expenditure.


When you burn more calories than you take in your body breaks down fats for energy What happens when you use more calories than you take in?

Your body stores that extra energy as fat.


Does an active virus use energy to grow?

Yes, an active virus requires energy to replicate and grow within a host cell. It hijacks the cell's machinery to produce more viral particles, which requires energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).


What cells use active transport?

Energy, versus passive in which energy is not used.


In active transport does a cell use energy?

Yes


What is the movement of pairticles with the use of energy?

Why do you go to sleep hungry and wake up not hungry?

This is because your body stores fuel [all the food you do consume and do not immediately use for energy] is broken down into glucose and stored in your liver as glycogen. When you sleep [or have not eaten in a while] your body will use the glycogen as an energy source. So when you are active [before you go to bed] you body is "asking you" to consume some food so it can function. when you sleep, your body isn't needing the energy as much. So the feeling of hunger will go away for a while, until you start to be active again.
