Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Most energy from food is released as..
A
Glucose
B
Photosynthesis
C
Protein
D
Thermal energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The biological mechanism of respiration transforms chemical energy into thermal energy. Food energy is released in the form of ATP and heat during respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -If all other conditions are the same, substances in gas form have the most thermal energy, followed by liquids, then solids. Temperature can be measured with a thermometer. The matter inside a thermometer expands as its particles gain thermal energy and move.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your body transforms stored potential energy in the food you eat into thermal energy which keeps our bodies at 37.5°C. The daily temperature usually rises as radiant energy from the Sun is absorbed by the atmosphere increasing the thermal energy of the air.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most of the energy we consume as food is converted to thermal energy in the process of performing all our bodily functions and is ultimately lost from our bodies.
