Nerves use electrical energy to transmit signals throughout the body. This is because nerve cells, or neurons, generate electrical impulses that travel along their length to communicate information from one part of the body to another.

What kind of energy do your bones use to move?

Bones do not directly utilize energy for movement. Muscles, which are attached to bones, require energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to contract and generate movement. The bones themselves do not use energy for movement.


What kind of energy is energy that is currently in use (or motion).?

Energy that is currently in motion is referred to as "kinetic" energy.


What kind of energy is invloved in hearing and vision?

When a sound is produced, it is carried as vibrations through the air. these vibrations enter the ear and make the ear drum vibrate. This is kinetic energy. The inner ear converts this kinetic energy into electrical energy, which travels along the nerves to the brain. Light enters the eye as electro-magnetic energy. This energy is converted by the retina first into chemical energy, which is then converted to electrical energy in the nerves as the signal travel to the brain. Where nerves join other nerves, the signal has to jump across a gap called a synapse. This is done by converting the energy back into chemical energy, the chemical energy travels across the synapse and is converted back into electrical energy. In short: Ears - Kinetic, electrical and chemical Eyes - Electromagnetic (light), electrical and chemical


What kind of energy does scissors use?

Scissors use mechanical energy when they are being used to cut material. This energy is generated by the person's muscle movements when opening and closing the scissors.


What kind of energy is scissors use?

Scissors use mechanical energy when they are used to cut objects. The energy is transferred from the user's hand to the blades of the scissors, enabling them to perform cutting action.
