B. the energy is changed into a different form
...because the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it only changes form. Energy can't just disappear, therefore, it is converted into a different form as it passes through the food chain.
“Many of the objections are long standing but apparently unknown to many geophysicists, while some are peculiar to the new global tectonics. The conclusions drawn, in order of probability, are (1) the continents have almost certainly not moved with respect to each other; (2) convection is not active throughout the whole mantle; (3) even if convection is active in the upper mantle it cannot account for drift; (4) pole positions derived from paleomagnetism, and results of this method of investigation in its global form generally, are afflicted with an unknown cause of error and are in any case too inexact for drift reconstructions.”
(Wesson, 1972)
Plants used the decaying plants and animals as nutrients which helps them grow.
Answer: 2Ag + 2H2O + HgCl2 → 2AgCl + H2 + Hg(OH)2
