Energy is the ability of a system to do a job. Any action we do needs energy. To move, to run, to think, we consume energy that we store during meals. Plants to grow, make flowers, fruits and leaves consume energy that they take from the sun. To build everything around us we need energy. Anything we see around us needs or has needed energy to be the way it is. Physically, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed from one energetic form into another.
