When you are cold your body will cause you to shiver. This is a negative feedback mechanism employed by your body to maintain homeostasis. Quick muscle contractions use chemical energy that was stored in ATP. How does this heat your body? Choose the most correct answer
A: Responses When the bonds are broken the chemical energy is used and some is wasted.
B :When the bonds are broken the chemical energy is used and some is wasted.
C: When the bonds are broken chemical energy is transferred into light energy and heats us like the sun.
D: When the bonds are broken chemical energy is transferred into light energy and heats us like the sun. When ATP bonds are broken, what is not used by the muscles disappears. When ATP bonds are broken, what is not used by the muscles disappears. When the bonds are broken chemical energy and thermal energy are released helping the muscles move and releasing heat. When the bonds are broken chemical energy and thermal energy are released helping the muscles move and releasing heat.
D: When the bonds are broken chemical energy and thermal energy are released helping the muscles move and releasing heat.
The most correct answer is D: When the bonds are broken, chemical energy is transferred into thermal energy (heat), helping the muscles move and releasing heat. When ATP bonds are broken, some chemical energy is used by the muscles for contraction, and the rest is released as heat energy.
The most correct answer is D: When the bonds are broken, chemical energy is transferred into thermal energy, helping the muscles move and releasing heat.
Shivering is a rapid contraction and relaxation of the muscles, which requires energy. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the molecule that provides energy for these muscle contractions. When ATP molecules are broken down in the muscle cells, the bond between the phosphate groups is broken, releasing chemical energy.
This chemical energy is then converted into thermal energy or heat, which warms up the body. As ATP bonds are broken, chemical energy is released, and some of it is used to power the muscle contractions, while the remaining energy is converted into thermal energy, raising the body's temperature.
Options A and B are incorrect because they suggest that when ATP bonds are broken, the chemical energy is wasted or disappears entirely. Option C is incorrect because ATP bonds do not transfer chemical energy into light energy; instead, they primarily release thermal energy. Therefore, the most accurate answer is option D.
