This energy comes from the food we eat. Our bodies digest the food we eat by mixing it with fluids in the stomach. When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate in the food breaks down into another type of sugar, called glucose. Calories are ENERGY that fuel our bodies; much like gasoline fuels our cars.

Answer:

C: James-Lange Theory of Emotion; B: Cornea

Explanation:

The James-Lange theory of emotion is a theory proposed independently by two (2) psychologists "William James" and "Carl Lange" and it posits that "emotion is equivalent to the range of physiological arousal caused by external events." This means that for someone to experience emotion, he must first be aroused physically evident in ways such as increased respiration, heart-rate etc., and that their interpretation of such physiological excitement is what leads to emotion in people.

B. Cornea
