Answer 2

Answer:

The eight-year-old boy needs less energy each day than a teenage boy is due to less physical and metabolic activities in an eight-year-old boy.

Explanation:

• The human body carries out its main functions by consuming food and turning it into usable energy. Immediate energy is supplied to the body in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
• Metabolic activities involve coupling the oxidation of an energy source to the reduction of a terminal electron acceptor (TEA), resulting in the conservation of energy used for cellular activities.
• In the body, thermal energy helps us maintain a constant body temperature, mechanical energy helps us move, and electrical energy sends nerve impulses and fires signals to and from our brains.
• Energy is in everything that we eat, consume, or use. Energy fuels and regulates the body's natural internal functions.
• It repairs cells and body tissue is used to build muscle and is necessary to maintain homeostasis.
• All these conditions are less in small kids than adults due to less body mass, activities, consumption of food.
