Human Metabolism

Being described as the most complicated machine ever encountered by humans, the human body and the cell metabolism is nothing less than a wonder. Metabolism is the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions within organisms.

Question

An object can only transfer heat by either conduction, convection, or radiation. Is this true or false? If true, explain why? If false, give an example and how it transfers energy via more than one process. What are some examples of which heating by conduction is used in everyday processes?
