Read the following passage.

The law of conservation of energy tells us that energy is neither gained nor lost during ordinary chemical or physical processes. This means any chemical reaction that occurs will not result in a net gain or net loss of energy, though the energy may change forms and may be used in new ways.

Question 2
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are both chemical processes in which atoms are rearranged and put back together in new ways. Energy does change forms during these processes. These processes take place in specialized cell structures called organelles.
