B

Keep in mind that total energy in the beginning and after work remains the same according o thermodynamics theory that energy can't be created or destroyed.

Explanation:

Conversion of energy from one form to another is not 100% efficient. Even the transfer of energy from one object to another (work) is not 100% efficient. This also applies to cells. The inefficiencies are lost as heat energy. Examples of such work in the cells include active transport by cell membrane protein channels, metabolic pathways, and etcetera. Some energy in the hydrolysis of ATP to power these biochemical activities is lost as heat which is part of the reason we remain warm. This energy ends up being lost into the environment as heat (e.g even from sweating).

Answer:

D. stabilizes the position of the kidneys by holding them in their normal position

Explanation:

Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue and is therefore called by some adipose connective tissue. As we saw in the article “Connective Tissue Cells”, adipose tissue is made up of adipose cells, also called adipocytes. Fat tissue specializes in fat storage and is found well below the skin.

Some of our internal organs like kidneys and heart have a layer of adipose tissue lining them. This layer of fat around the organs gives them greater protection against mechanical shock. In addition, in the kidneys, adipose tissue fills the voids between other tissues and helps keep these organs in their normal positions.
