The chemical energy in the person's body is transformed into
when they peddle the bike, causing the generator to rotate. Some energy in the bike wheel is lost to
. The generator produces electricity, which heats the water, causing it to produce thermal energy in the form of steam. When the person's chemical energy runs out, how do you replenish it?

Fill-ins:
- Chemical energy → mechanical energy (muscle work / kinetic energy) when they pedal.
- Some energy in the bike wheel is lost to friction (converted to thermal energy and some sound).
How to replenish the person's chemical energy:
- Eat food (carbohydrates, fats, proteins). Digestion and cellular respiration (using oxygen) convert nutrients into ATP, restoring the chemical energy muscles use.
- Replace fluids and electrolytes as needed; rest/sleep and rebuild glycogen stores with a balanced meal for longer recovery.
