All energy eventually turns to heat. No exceptions.
Most of the energy in the box comes from the potential energy stored in the food molecules. When the food is digested and broken down, this potential energy is converted into chemical energy that can be used by the body for various functions and activities.
the most familiar form of energy is chemical energy. every human uses chemica energy to digest their food into fuel that gives them energy to move around.
The energy source at the bottom of most food chains is the Sun.
Our energy comes from the food we eat, which gets converted into glucose and other molecules that our cells use for energy production. The energy in food originally comes from the sun through the process of photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into chemical energy.
Primary producers (plants) have the most energy because they capture energy from the sun through photosynthesis. This energy is then passed on to herbivores, carnivores, and decomposers in the ecosystem. Each trophic level loses energy as it moves up the food chain, so the primary producers have the most energy.
We concentrate on glucose breakdown, since it dominates energy production in most animal cells.

No. Most of the breakdown of food is done by the small intestine.
The herbivores obtain most of their energy in the form of food from plants.
The ATP molecule is the one that releases energy by the breakdown of glucose molecules. This provides energy to most of the cell functions.
The amount of usable energy ("food") stored in the biomass of organisms is decreased because most of the energy taken in by consumers is used for movement or released as body heat. The percentage passed on is usually taken as 10%, although this is a very generalized average, and different ecosystems have varying efficiencies.
Most of the energy released by the breakdown of glucose to water and carbon dioxide ends up in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is a molecule that cells use as a source of energy for various cellular processes.
The breakdown of starch produces glucose molecules, which can be used by cells as a source of energy through cellular respiration.
I assume you mean the food. Most of the food we eat has food energy, which is a type of chemical energy.
Energy is most food does indeed come from sunlight. Producers are the most abundant food source and producers make their food from sunlight during photosynthesis.
