True or False:

Question

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass cannot be transformed or destroyed, only created.

During photosynthesis, plants convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

In an ecosystem, energy flows from the primary consumers to producers.

The process of cellular respiration in animals transforms chemical energy into ATP.

Consumers are the primary organisms in an ecosystem to capture light energy from the sun.

As energy moves through the food chain it is destroyed.

Answer 1

1. False: The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. It does not state that mass can be created.

2. True: During photosynthesis, plants convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

3. False: In an ecosystem, energy flows from producers (like plants) to primary consumers (herbivores) and then to higher trophic levels.

4. True: The process of cellular respiration in animals transforms chemical energy stored in food into ATP.

5. False: Producers (like plants) are the primary organisms in an ecosystem that capture light energy from the sun.

6. False: As energy moves through the food chain, it is not destroyed; rather, it transforms into different forms, and a significant portion is lost as heat at each trophic level.
