In ecosystems, plants transform light energy from the Sun into chemical energy when they make sugar. This sugar can then be consumed by other organisms to be used as building blocks for other molecules, such as proteins and fats, or it can be transformed into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy, when the organism moves. Which of the following statements is supported by the above information? A. Energy can change forms, but only one kind of matter exists. B. Matter and energy must always remain in the same form and location. C. Matter and energy can change forms and locations in ecosystems.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Matter and energy can change forms and locations in ecosystems.

Explanation:

Matter and energy can change forms and locations in ecosystems.

In the given information, light energy changed into chemical energy and then into kinetic energy, and sugar changed into proteins and fats as it moved from the Sun to the plant and then to other organisms.

It is important to note that although matter and energy can change forms and locations in an ecosystem, the total amount of matter and energy must always remain the same according to the laws of conservation of matter and energy.
