1. They use energy for cell respiration (which is how an organism takes chemical energy from food and turns it into ATP)
2. They lose energy through egested waste (feces)
3. They use it to make heat. Heat is literally just  a way of getting rid of energy.

Also, the organism uses energy to increase biomass]]> 2016-11-11 05:50:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/ih2fjpuqk45m/wish/136934503 zh20105 https://padlet.com/lisle202/ih2fjpuqk45m/wish/136934819 2016-11-11 05:59:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/ih2fjpuqk45m/wish/136934819 zh20105 https://padlet.com/lisle202/ih2fjpuqk45m/wish/136935136 2016-11-11 06:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/ih2fjpuqk45m/wish/136935136 zh20105 https://padlet.com/lisle202/ih2fjpuqk45m/wish/136935211 2016-11-11 06:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/ih2fjpuqk45m/wish/136935211 zh20105 https://padlet.com/lisle202/ih2fjpuqk45m/wish/136935253 2016-11-11 06:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/ih2fjpuqk45m/wish/136935253 zh20105 https://padlet.com/lisle202/ih2fjpuqk45m/wish/136935333 2016-11-11 06:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/ih2fjpuqk45m/wish/136935333 zh20105 https://padlet.com/lisle202/ih2fjpuqk45m/wish/137112765 2016-11-12 02:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/ih2fjpuqk45m/wish/137112765 zh20105 https://padlet.com/lisle202/ih2fjpuqk45m/wish/137112890 2016-11-12 03:01:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/ih2fjpuqk45m/wish/137112890
