∙ 15y agoThe body uses energy all the time to carry out reactions necessary to sustain life. The energy storing molecule used by the body is ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is synthesised and utilised within all body cells.

∙ 14y agoHeat is transferred by radiation, conduction and evaporation. It is no different for the human body than for any other physical object.
However, the body makes a number of adjustments. When the core body temperature is too high, an area of the brain is signaled which causes certain internal changes. More blood is sent to the skin from within the body, and heat can then be released from the body as radiation. Heat is absorbed by radiation as well as given off, in the form of infrared rays. This is why human bodies can be "seen" by infrared cameras. When the environment is cooler than the body, the body is radiating heat. But if the environment is warmer than the body, the body will be absorbing heat.
In that case, the body has other ways to get rid of excess heat. Sweat glands will open in the skin and produce sweat, which is then cooled by the air, via evaporation. Even when the body is not sweating, moisture is evaporating from the skin, and cooling the body.
Conduction is another way the body transfers heat. This is a direct molecule-to-molecule transfer of heat. Swimming or bathing in cooler water, or splashing cold water on your face allows the body to release heat in this way. Drinking or eating cold foods also cools the body. But, so does sitting or lying on furniture that is cooler than the body.
Without knowing all these things, humans alter their behavior to become cooler. Among the other signals the brain puts out, it tells when the body is too hot, and a person will then seek shade or cooler air, drink cold beverages, or seek other ways of feeling cooler.
This is how the human body releases heat.

How does shivering help your body control its internal temperature?
Shivering is the involuntary contraction and relaxation of your muscles. When muscles contract they use energy, which is released by 'burning' sugar. Some of the energy which is released escapes as heat and this raises the temperature of the body.
What is the type of energy you use in your body?
The two major types of energy used in the body is Chemical Energy where energy is stored in bonds between chemical substrates adn when the bonds are released so is the energy and Electrical Energy where energy comes from the movement of charged particles across or down a cell membrane.
True or false potential energy is energy that is stored or is available for use by a body for example coal has potential energy that is released only when it is burned?
True, in the case of coal it is potential chemical energy
How do organisms harness energy to live?
Living organisms use the energy released from he exergonic process to drive the endergonic process
When you rub your hands together on a cold day you use friction to convert what energy?
The friction force converts mechanical energy of the body into heat energy that is released. Work done by mechanical energy=Force x displacement =Heat produced.
Where does energy released from food go?
Into the Body Cells.
Is the energy in food released rapidly into our bodies?
No, the body has to process the food before the energy can be accessed.
What happens when food gets digested in your body?
When food gets digested in our body, energy is released after its breakdown.
What is the body's molecule for energy?
ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is the end product of cellular respiration. It is the energy that is released by the mitochondria.
Can energy released during a chemical reaction be absorbed?
Yes, for ex. thermal energy.
Why must food be digested?
Digestion is necessary because for energy from the food to be released and carried into the cells in our body the food must be broken down into soluble molecules for it to diffuse into the cells. Then energy is released during respiration.
What energy occurs first potential or kinetic?
Energy is possessed by virtue of position, shape or motion or all the three properties. Generally potential energy is at first stored in a body which is released as kinetic energy when the body is in motion. But suppose if a body is thrown upwards vertically its kinetic energy gets converted into potential energy.

How is the energy in food released in to the body?
cellular respiration.
What happens to energy when food molecules break down?
released entirely as body heat into the environment.
Why does food give the body energy?
It contains some sort of sugar called glucose or starch. When we eat it, the glucose or starch is released. When respiration(sugar+oxygen converted into carbon dioxide+energy+water) occurs, energy is released.
