<ul>
	<li>All energy comes from the sun in the form of light.</li>
	<li>Plants perform chemical reactions to turn this light energy into stored chemical energy.</li>
	<li>We get our energy from eating plants or eating animals that feed on plants.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Our food contains energy stored as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.</li>
	<li>The main elements in food are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.</li>
	<li>When we digest food, our cells chemically release the energy from food molecule bonds.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Our cells store the energy released from food as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is like a high-powered battery for our muscles.</li>
	<li>ATP provides the energy needed for muscles to contract and create movement.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Muscle contraction is only 20% efficient, and about 80% of the energy released during muscle contraction is turned into heat.</li>
	<li>Our bodies need to get rid of this excess heat to prevent overheating.</li>
	<li>The excess heat is transported from our body&#39;s core to the skin, where it can be lost to the environment.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Plants converting sunlight into energy is like solar panels converting sunlight into electricity.</li>
	<li>ATP in our muscles is like a rechargeable battery that provides power when we need it.</li>
	<li>When we exercise, our muscles produce heat, and we start to sweat. Sweating is our body&#39;s way of cooling down by releasing excess heat through the skin.</li>
</ul>

✏️📚 Study Tip: Remember that the flow of energy starts with the sun, gets stored in plants, and then gets transferred to us through the food we eat. Our muscles use this energy for movement, but most of the energy is released as heat, which our bodies need to get rid of to stay cool.

&nbsp;

🎉🎈 Fun Fact: Sweating is like your body&#39;s natural air conditioning system! When we sweat, the water on our skin evaporates, which cools us down and helps us stay at a comfortable temperature. So, the next time you&#39;re sweating, remember it&#39;s just your body&#39;s way of keeping you cool!
