3.
When Anna eats an apple, the sugars in that apple are broken down into the substance
called glucose. Glucose is then burned in her body for energy. One of the body parts
that needs this energy is the heart, which beats due to electrical impulses. A byproduct
of this glucose breakdown is the heat that warms her body and is later released.

Which identifies the energy transformations that take place in Anna's body as this
process takes place?
NOT

Electrical energy is converted to chemical energy and thermal energy.

NOT

gravitational potential energy

kinetic energy
elastic potential energy

gravitational potential energy

electrical energy
kinetic energy

electrical

Work can transfer energy between objects and cause a change in the form of energy.
