identify the type of energy transferred to your body in each of the following as either internal energy, heat transfer, or doing work: (a) basking in sunlight; (b) eating food; (c) riding an elevator to a higher floor.



Answer :

a) during basking in the sunlight, heat of the sun gets transferred to the body. Therefore, energy transfer = heat transfer b) Eating food gives us energy which is stored in our body as internal energy. Therefore, energy transfer = internal energy c) When moving upward, work is done against gravity to increase potential energy. Therefore, heat transfer = work done

How is energy moved throughout the human body?

The exchange of energy (heat) between the human body and the environment involves all three energy transfer mechanisms: conduction, convection, and radiation.

What does biology mean by energy transfer?

In food webs, energy is transmitted from consumers to producers between the species.Organisms utilise the energy to complete difficult activities.The photosynthesis process in plants transforms solar energy, which makes up the majority of the energy in food webs, into chemical energy.
