When a dolphin jumps, it moves its muscles and chemical potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Some of this energy is

lost to the dolphin. Explain why this phenomenon does not violate the Law of Conservation of Energy.
The dolphin is a closed system, so energy is allowed to exit the system.
The energy is transferred to waves in the surrounding water.
The muscles recapture the energy when they relax after contractions.
The Law of Conservation of Energy does not apply to biological systems.

I would say the answer is either A or B, the Law of Consevation of Energy states that,"<span>the total energy of an isolated system remains constant</span>" so this energy isn't destroyed, it's simply useless. When we use energy to run, our energy is released as heat, so I would assume that it is the same for other creatures. Let me know if this helps.
