We often say that we need food for energy. In a biological sense, is this correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When we consume food, the chemical energy stored in its structure can be broken down and converted into a form of energy that our bodies can use for metabolic processes and physical activity. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, allowing us to move and function. While energy is not created or destroyed in this process (as stated in the Law of Conservation of Energy), the chemical potential energy in our food is transformed into a different form of energy that our bodies can use. Therefore, choice C is the best answer.
