if energy cant be destroyed and every living thing is made of energy what happens to the energy when we die?

Answer 1

Something that is a part of another subject.

Now to Ghosts
Nothing new about these either but consider their existence? Common really, so common people forget their brothers and sisters
Sound and Vision? Really you think?
OK switch on your TV you have a ghost, yes a ghost.
Your arial, then your set, has captured a frequency amplified it and used its variations to make a picture using the basic principle of a Mercury Arc Rectifier.
Sound is exactly the same without the complication of vision.
Statement of fact Einstein-- Energy can neither be produced or destroyed.

Answer 2

it goes back into the environment. The heat is lost to the environment, hence a corpse gets cold. Your brain stops sending electrical signal to your body, so your heart stops beating, your lungs stop breathing. The fat, muscle and tissues starts to decompose through actions of decomposers, like bacteria, maggots, cockroaches etc.

The chemical reactions that produce energy inside your cells stops so all the potential chemical energy that can be create by combining nutrients with oxygen and changing ADP to ATP will also stop. The energy will still be stored in the nutrients in your cells, blood, etc. but without your cells using them they will require decomposers to break down into basic chemical compounds.

The engine of life is very delicate and once the engine stalls, there is a very short period to reignite the process, before the decomposition process takes over.

Kind of a morbid question but it is Halloween, so anything goes.

Answer 3

Things are not made of energy. they are made of matter.

When a buried body rots it releases chemical energy that provides nutrients for the soil and thus feed plants which in turn feed animals and people.

If cremated, the heat energy from the burning is released into the atmosphere adding to the heat.

Answer 4

Our energy is returned back to the earth and becomes part of the life cycle. We put nutrients back into the soil, plants use these nutrients to grow and undergo photosynthesis-which produces oxygen, animals eat the plants...it's never ending.

Answer 5

energy can't be destroyed..it can only be transferred. so the explanation for your question is that energy from our body is transferred to our environement..

just think of it this way..dead bodies are decomposed through the action of bacteria, fungi, etc. thus, the energy from the dead body is now transferred to the bacteria , fungi etc. the energy they got from the dead body will be used for their own daily energy needs.

Answer 6

it is transformed to other tipes of energy, such as heat, etc when your body decomposes. Also remember that your remains become food to the maggots.

Answer 7

From a dead body no energy is created, no food intake and no digestion.

Answer 8

It is converted to other forms of energy_ most likely, heats is one of those. Did you ever wonder why the dead would "Transpire", so to say, if left in a normal condition?

Answer 9

it will travel .. reach eventually a new configuration
and take another form of being..

I have the feeling you know the precise answer too well :
investigating how many here will respond to your question and how ,right ?

Answer 10

The energy condenses and becomes transient.
