Energy used to heat the home is generally lost through poorly insulated walls, openings around windows and doors, and right up the chimney.
Energy used to heat hot water escapes the heater to it's surroundings, or runs straight down the drain during long showers or after doing the dishes.
Energy used to keep food fresh is wasted by the inefficiency of old refrigerators, or, during the summer, it is dually wasted by removing that heat from our homes by running an air conditioner (Seems okay to unplug the fridge occasionally, or set it to operate at night when the ambient air is naturally cooler).
Energy used to fuel human bodies is wasted by sitting on the couch watching TV or Surfing the internet for answers to questions at Answers.com. However, this energy is generally stored as fat and can be used later as entertainment on NBCs Biggest Loser.
Electricity can be saved by using newer appliances, or using the ones we own more wisely. I tell my wife she can heat up chicken nuggets in the toaster oven instead of heating up our conventional oven. Old dryers, washers, fridges, TVs, hot water tanks, and even computers almost always waste more energy than new ones.
Also, insulate your home, wrap your pipes and hot water tank with appropriate insulation, turn the heat down and cool off your shorter shower. Put a brick in your toilet tank to save a quart of water each time you flush (its better than lowering the bulb, because you retain the same hydrostatic pressure). I know that's not energy related. Put carpet over hardwood floors. Wear slippers. Make soup in the microwave. Eat your leftovers... you already spent the energy to cook them!
And don't stand there with the door open!
leaving our lights on taking long showers washing only one cloth at a time
Lost through seals around windows and doors.
There are two main sources, electricity and natural gas. You may also burn coal or wood.
Through the walls and ceiling (lack of insulation) through the glass (lack of double glazing) or draughts (lack of door and window seals)
It's easiest transferred and most versatile.
They are transmitted using transmission lines and cables.
Yes, energy can be transferred that way.
If the energy is not transferred, it will stay where it was. Or it may be wasted somewhere.
Is transferred heat energy.

energy is transferred from on animal to the other animal. Because energy can't be destroyed only transferred
They are transmitted using transmission lines and cables.
The rate at which energy is transferred is called POWER
Wind energy is transferred by wind mills.
Yes, energy can be transferred that way.
Energy is transferred into an inclined by effort

Energy is transferred through the atmosphere by radiation.
If the energy is not transferred, it will stay where it was. Or it may be wasted somewhere.
Is transferred heat energy.
Energy can be transferred from one location to another as in the sun's energy travels through space to Earth. The two ways that energy can be transferred are by doing work and heat transfer. Also energy can be transferred from one object to another.
