How do our body’s heat up to the required temperature. Some sort of chemical reaction maybe?
In: Biology
A chemical reaction is exactly what’s happening. When you “burn calories”, you are really burning carbohydrates, lipids (fats), and proteins, turning them into carbon dioxide, which we breathe out, and water, plus a few other minor things. This releases lots of energy, which we use to do all those things we do as living things, including keeping our body temp steady.
