A tiny bit of the sun's energy falls onto earth. On earth some of the solar energy is changed by photosynthesis into chemical energy stored in the carbohydrate molecules in plant cells.
A human eats a plant. Or a human eats an animal that ate a plant. The chemical energy stored in the plant (or animal) cells is moved into the cells of the human's body. All of the body processes, like digestion, pumping blood, breathing, are powered by cells converting the stored chemical energy into work and heat, in a process called respiration. Respiration takes place in every cell in your body.
Inside the muscle cells of the human (or any animal), the chemical energy is transformed (changed) into mechanical work and heat. The muscle contracts, the legs push, and the body leaps into the air. Some of the chemical energy has now been changed into the kinetic energy of a body flying up into the air. The rest of the original chemical energy has been used to raise the temperature of your jumping body. If you keep jumping for long you'll get pretty hot.
During a change, energy is either released or absorbed

What happens to energy when matter undergoes chemical or physical change?
During a chemical or physical change, the energy of matter can either be absorbed or released. For example, in chemical reactions, energy is exchanged in the form of heat or light as chemical bonds are broken or formed. In physical changes, such as melting or boiling, energy is used to break intermolecular forces between particles.
What happens when a substance undergoes a physical change?
During a physical change, the substance's chemical composition remains the same. It undergoes a change in physical properties such as shape, size, or state (solid, liquid, gas) without forming a new substance. Examples include melting, freezing, boiling, and dissolving.
What is a sidewalk warmed by the heat of the sun a chemical or physical change?
It undergoes a physical change because the matter that makes up the sidewalk does not change. THe side walk goes through a chemical and physical change because the heat makes it constrict by shacking the particles just like it happens with food
Oxidizing food for energy-physical change?
When food is oxidized for energy in the body, it undergoes a chemical change rather than a physical change. Oxidation involves the breaking down of molecules to release energy, which is a fundamental process in our metabolism. This process transforms the chemical energy stored in food molecules into a form that the body can use for various biological functions.
When a rocket is launched is it physical chemical or nuclear change?
When a rocket is launched, it undergoes both physical and chemical changes. The ignition of the rocket fuel is a chemical change, as it involves the breaking and forming of chemical bonds to release energy for propulsion. The physical changes include the motion of the rocket as it moves through the atmosphere and the transformation of potential energy into kinetic energy.
What happens to energy when matter undergoes chemical or physical change?
During a chemical or physical change, the energy of matter can either be absorbed or released. For example, in chemical reactions, energy is exchanged in the form of heat or light as chemical bonds are broken or formed. In physical changes, such as melting or boiling, energy is used to break intermolecular forces between particles.
Is a conductor of energy a physical or chemical change?
The conductor of energy is not a physical change. The conduction of energy happens due to a chemical bonding of specific metals. A conductor of energy produces a flow of electrical charges.
What happens when a substance undergoes a physical change?
During a physical change, the substance's chemical composition remains the same. It undergoes a change in physical properties such as shape, size, or state (solid, liquid, gas) without forming a new substance. Examples include melting, freezing, boiling, and dissolving.
What happens to energy during a change of state why is it a physical change?
Its released or adsorbed. Its "physical" because no new substance(s) is produced.
When ice melts it gains energy and is call this type of change?
When ice melts it is called a physical endothermic change.
When you melt butter in a pan is it a physical change that is releasing energy?
When butter melts in a pan, it undergoes a physical change as it transitions from a solid to a liquid state. This process absorbs heat energy rather than releasing it, as the heat is required to break the molecular bonds holding the solid structure together. Therefore, while melting is a physical change, it does not release energy; instead, it requires energy input to occur.
What is changed when matter undergoes a physichal change?
When matter undergoes a physical change, its physical properties change. Physical properties include density, color, solubility, conductivity, hardness, kinetic and potential energy of molecules, volume, pressure, temperature etc. One or more of physical properties change when matter undergoes a physical change. Remember chemical properties i.e. chemical composition and it's reaction with other substances remain the same. Also it's mass remains the same. When ice changes to water it's volume decreases, density increases, potential energy of molecules increases. Iodine is grey when solid but gives violet vapours on sublimation. Changing the pressure or volume or temperature of a gas results in change of one or both of the other quantities. These are examples of physical change.
What is a sidewalk warmed by the heat of the sun a chemical or physical change?
It undergoes a physical change because the matter that makes up the sidewalk does not change. THe side walk goes through a chemical and physical change because the heat makes it constrict by shacking the particles just like it happens with food
Is a glowing neon sign a physical change?
Yes, a glowing neon sign represents a physical change because the neon gas inside the sign undergoes a change in energy state to emit light. This change is reversible and does not alter the chemical composition of the neon gas.
Is bursting of explosive considered a physical change or a chemical change?
Well a chemical change cannot be reversed while a physical change can be, what do you think??
Is energy change a chemical or physical change?
Conduction of energy is a physical change.
When matter undergoes change of state what does it absorb or release?
Energy.
