Energy is lost at several levels from the body of an organism. Two of the phenomenons through which energy is lost are
Conduction:
When a body is in contact with another body, energy is lost in the form of heat. For example, if we sleep on a cold floor, energy from our body would be lost to the floor in the form of heat,
Decomposition:
Energy is lost when cells in a body die and energy is required for decomposition also.
