P4- describe the role of energy in the body and the physiology of three named body systems in relation to energy metabolism.
Energy can be defined as the capacity of a physical system to perform work. It comes in many different forms, chemical energy being the most common, and it can be divided into two main categories kinetic and potential. But I am going to talk about energy metabolism, which consists of all the chemical reactions in the human body either using or releasing energy from different chemical substances. Energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created nor destroyed. The changing of one form of energy to another is called transformation energy.
