5.3 Understanding Energy ConversionsIn order to do work, _____________________________________ from one form to another. Scientists use specific terms to describe what happens during this process.
Energy that _______________ the system is called ______________________ The system where _____________________________ from one form into another
is called a ____________________ The energy that ______________ the system is called ________________________
Chemical Conversions
The heat you feel during exercise is produced by a _________________________ within the muscles of your body. _______________________ from food is ____________________ to ________________________. Many chemical reactions produce thermal energy.
When is Thermal Energy Wasted?
You have learned that thermal energy is _________________ during most activities. In many cases, this energy is ____________________. It is not used or needed for the activity. In some cases, such as during moderate physical activity, the _______________________ is not a problem, but it can become a problem on extremely hot days,
when athletes may get ____________________.
Many machines also produce ________________________. The thermal energy produced by many machines often _____________________ with their operation. The student using the drill press must be careful to _____________________________ the drill, for example. This could result in a piece of work with burn marks.

Use this worksheet to assist you with the information found on page 86.• Use this information to help you answer the questions that follow.• File this worksheet in the correct section of your notebook.
What To DoIt takes several energy conversions to convert the chemical energy in glucose into the energy needed to contract an arm muscle.
Step 1
Energy conversion occurs at the cellular level. Glucose is transported to the muscle cells by the blood. Glucose is converted in the cell mitochondria. What results is a form of chemical potential energy that the muscle tissues can use.
1. Identify the energy conversions at the cellular level.
input energy converter output energy
__________ ________ __________
input energy = ______________________
converter = ______________________
output energy = ______________________

Use this worksheet to record your responses for Think & Link Investigation 5–C: Energy Conversions Are Hard to Escape.
Study each of the visuals in your textbook. For each visual, identify the converter, the form of input energy, and the form of output energy. Decide and record whether thermal energy is lost or gained. Answer the questions that follow in your Science Log or notebook. File this worksheet in the correct section of your notebook.

A. Person paddlingB. Snowblower engine workingC. Drill press cuttingD. Hobby rocket taking offE. Person using a trampolineF. Person eating a sandwich
Analyze1. In these examples, are some types of output energy more common than others? Explain.
2. In many energy conversions, some thermal energy (heat) is dissipated. When could thermal energy in these six examples be considered wasted energy? Explain.
5.4 Conservation of EnergyWhat types of energy are produced by a blow dryer?
______________________ provides the heat to dry your hair
There is _______________________ in the moving air Some electricity is converted to
________________________ The glowing elements produce _______________________ The fan that moves the air is a motor. ____________
produces __________________ that is not used to dry your hair.
You could measure the ____________________ that goes into the blow dryer. If you compared it to all these forms of ___________________, you would find that the two are equal. _________________________________________________________.
Scientists refer to this understanding as the ____________________________________.
The Law of Conservation of Energy states:
Another way of thinking about this is to compare energy to money. Imagine you had $10 in assorted coins. When you counted the coins a few days later, you noticed that you did not quite have $10. Likely, you would begin searching in your pockets, under the couch cushions, and around the house until you found the missing change.
Energy is like this. It does not just disappear. If some energy appears to be missing, it is because you have not ________________________________________________________.
