Which of the following correctly states the principle of conservation of energy in terms of the human body? (assume no foodstuffs are consumed and no urine or faeces are excreted).


  1. Q = s × m × ΔT (Q = energy, s = specifi c heat of tissue, m = body mass, T = body temperature)
  2. The energy stored in the human body is equal to the energy lost from the body plus the work done by the body.
  3. The energy value of the food we eat must exceed the energy value of the muscular activity we perform.
  4. The change in the energy stored in the body is equal to the heat lost from the body plus the work done by the body.
