How do muscles generate heat?
When your muscles use energy to power muscle contraction 3 quarters turns into heat.
Why is energy required in passive transport to occur?
Energy is not required for passive transport.
What generates heat when you shiver?
Your muscles use energy to contract. The by-product of this energy consumption is heat.
What term describes energy that is required to get chemical reactions started?
Activation energy describes the energy that is required to get chemical reactions started.
Is more energy used to melt ice or freeze water?
The energy required is the same. It is the energy required to rearrange the molecules from one state to another.
Why is energy required for?
Because shivering is just all your muscles working (in order to get warm)
Who can you tell demonstrates energy being released to heat?
A child shivering in the cold
How does shivering help your body control its internal temperature?
Shivering is the involuntary contraction and relaxation of your muscles. When muscles contract they use energy, which is released by 'burning' sugar. Some of the energy which is released escapes as heat and this raises the temperature of the body.
How can shivering help you to survive the cold?
Shivering is a reflex triggered in response to hypothermia in which muscles shake in an attempt to generate heat. The energy expended during the shaking becomes heat.
Why does shivering keep you warm?
Shivering - nerve impulses are sent by the hypothalamus to the skeletal muscles to bring about rapid contractions that generate heat. Shivering therefore helps raise the body temperature. Increase in metabolic rate - the liver produces extra heat in order to raise the temperature of the body.
Which is correct - 'shivering with cold' or 'shivering from cold'?
shivering with cold
What kind of energy conversion is a child shivering in the cold?
Chemical (burning food) to mechanical (motion) to heat.
Is energy released or is energy required for evaporation?
required
Is shivering an adverb?
No, "shivering" is not an adverb.The word "shivering" is a verb and sometimes a noun.The closest adverb form of the word "shivering" is shiveringly.
When you shiver how do you warm up?
The muscles shivering expel heat as a means of releasing energy thus, warming your body
Light energy is required for this process?
Light energy IS required for Photosynthesis
What is the process of sweating and shivering called?
Sweating and shivering
