Task 3: Discuss the role of energy in the body: Energy can be found in different forms, ways that energy can be found in is through light, kinetic, thermal (heat), sound and chemical. These types of energy are categorised into two which are potential and kinetic energy. Chemical energy is energy that is stored in between the bonds of the atoms and the molecules. They are in between the molecules. Energy comes into our body from all the fats, carbohydrates and proteins that we all consume in

fossil-fuel, thermal energy and renewable energy sources. Electricity generation is one of the key factors to propel it to achieve the developmental goal of the national economy, with aggressive and rapid industrialization, which has increased the consumption from 265kilowatt-hours per capita in 2009 to 297.8 kilowatt-hours per capita, causing frequent power outage and rationing. It has become necessary for the privatization of the sector. Ghana exported some of its generated energy and fossil fuel to

cheaper labor. Today, finding work in America has become very challenging, but it does not mean that America is no longer the place of hopes and dreams that it once was. To make dreams and hopes come true, Americans need a stable income. Even though creating jobs to fulfill this need has becomes more difficult throughout the years, America still provides this hope, despite its limited resources. Such natural resources include sunlight, wind, water, biomass, and geothermal energy. These renewable resources

technology, more energy is being consumed. (Hayden and Shandra 575) The impact that this is having on the environment is substantial in both negative and positive ways. It is hard to deny the benefits modern technology has produced for the world, in industry and in everyday life. With more and more technological breakthroughs, there have been many positive ecological impacts. However, it is also hard to deny that there are considerable negative impacts as well. Supporters of a work reduction scheme
