They are powered by electricity of course, but the generate microwaves (an electromagnetic wave, like light - but of a higher frequency). We are surrounded by microwaves from the sun, satalites, and radiation from electrical dewvices, but microwaves concentrate the energy - heat happens where "beams" cross and excite the molecules of what they are passing through (i.e. heat).
Cooking uses heat energy as the main source. It is the main activity that uses heat as a source of energy.
If you are referring to the oven, the answer could be yes, as the turn table moves. However if you are referring to the electromagnetic wave known as a microwave then this is a form of electromagnetic energy...

Renewable source of energy means that this source is not exhaustible by its use in producing electricity or heat (steam) or mechanical energy. An example is solar energy. Using sunlight to produce electricity through special devices, called photoelectric cells, will not exhaust sunlight coming to earth. Fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal are examples of nonrenewable sources of energy as they are exhausted by their use.
No metal object should be used in a microwave.
Yes, a microwave is a source of heat energy. It heats food by using microwave radiation to agitate water molecules within the food, causing them to vibrate and generate heat.
A microwave oven uses the 120 V AC coming out of your kitchen receptacle (in the United States) and by means of a transformer and rectifier converted to 7000 V DC which is then used to energize the magnetron that creates the microwave energy.
No, this microwave is not energy star approved. In fact, Energy Star does not currently approve/label ANY microwave ovens. However, most microwave ovens of the same size/wattage use comparable amounts of energy, and microwave ovens use substantially less energy than conventional ovens.
because It moves
No, when it is not in use, the microwave would not have a light on. Why would you want the light on when you are not using it and waste energy?
Yes, microwave uses heat energy. It helps in cooking.
In a microwave, electrical energy from the power source is converted into electromagnetic waves (microwaves) which in turn generate heat energy by causing water molecules in food to vibrate and produce heat. So, the energy transformation in a microwave involves conversion from electrical energy to electromagnetic waves and then to heat energy.
Microwave takes less time to cook
Glucose is the only energy source that the brain can use.
Carbohydrates
A microwave oven uses electricity to generate electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. This radiation is absorbed by water, fats, and sugars in food, causing them to vibrate and generate heat, which cooks the food.
Microwaves use radiant energy, so they give off radiant energy.
