This is called friction, as the movement of the cells when they move, or, circulate, causes the heat production. This is because the cells need to move to relay fuels, and, circulate the system, so as to stay fresh - if they stayed in the same place, they would stagnate and die. Like exercise. If they stayed in the same place, they would have the effect of us lying on our backs doing nothing; deteriorate.
