Question

The 1st Law of Thermodynamics states that energy is neither created nor destroyed only transfer to forms. Why is a food chain an excellent example of this Thermodynamic law?

Answer 1

Answer:

Food chain is an excellent example of the first law of thermodynamics.

Explanation:

First law of thermodynamics states that energy of the universe is constant. It is always found in the universe in some form or the other. It cannot be destroyed or totally used up and we cannot also create energy out of anything in this world. Energy transforms from one form to another form.

Food chain is considered to be an excellent example of 1st law of thermodynamics. Every living organisms in the world posses energy. And all living organisms consumed each other or eat each other for their survival and consumes these energy to survive. So the energy possessed in one organisms or animal is transferred to the other organism that is higher in the food chain when they eats the lower organisms or animal in the food chain.

Thus energy transfers form one form to another.
