Question

Identify the energy system that would be most important for each of the following activities.

Answer 1

Basking in sunlight transfers heat energy, eating food transfers chemical potential energy, and riding an elevator to a higher floor transfers potential energy to the body.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. (a) Basking in sunlight transfers heat energy to the body as the body absorbs the sun's rays.
2. (b) Eating food transfers chemical potential energy to the body as the body breaks down the food and converts it into usable energy.
3. (c) Riding an elevator to a higher floor transfers potential energy to the body as the body gains height in a gravitational field.
