The digestive system breaks food down into the three main components of protiens, fats and carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the primary energy source of the human body. Metabolism takes over after the digestive system is through helping turn your food into you. But carbs break down into simple suger called glucose. Glucose is the energy of the human body. With the aid of insulin glucose enters the cells and provides chemical energy for all the movement of your body. It also provides for alertness, clear thinking, and cell reproduction.

Energy is stored in the cells. The cells travel around the organism (or a living system) and give off, or produce, energy.

Why does the digestive system need other body systems?

The digestive system needs other body systems to provide oxygen and fight off infections. Alone, the digestive system would simply not function and die.

Is the human body an open energy system?

Yes, we take in energy in the form of food that we digest and use for our cells and we give off heat (and sound energy when we talk).


Can you eat a soul?

You can not physically eat a soul because to do that it would have to be chewed up and passed down the digestive system; this is impossible because if you tried to chew a soul your teeth would go right through it and the ghost will probably exit the digestive system before it is digested. However, you can feed off a soul, mentally or spiritually, this is when your soul or mind absorbs the energy emitted off the soul you are feeding off, but you don't eat the actual soul just the energy emitted and in it.


What type of energy does a computer give off?

Do koalas get high off their diet?

No. This is a myth. Eucalyptus leaves are low in nutrition, and although the koala has a digestive system which can utilise all the nutrients in the best way, the leaves do not give them much energy. Hence, they spend so much time asleep, which has given rise to the myth that koalas get "high".


How does energy from flashlight batteries compare to the light and heat the flashlight gives off?

This depends entirely on the efficiency of the lamp. Tungsten lamps tend to give off more heat than light, whereas LED technology give off more light than heat. By the laws of thermodynamics the sum of the energy that comes out of the system must equal the sum of the energy that goes into the system. So: Energy in batteries = Total light energy produced + Total heat energy produced The efficiency therefore becomes the ratio between produced light energy and heat energy.


Does fuel give off energy?
