Question

In food chain what happens to matter in an ecosystem according to the law of
conservation on mass?
a. It is destroyed c. it can increase and decrease in quantity
b. It is created d. it is changed into other forms and the quantity remains the
same

Answer 1

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction mass is neither created nor destroyed. ... The carbon atom changes from a solid structure to a gas but its mass does not change. Similarly, the law of conservation of energy states that the amount of energy is neither created nor destroyed.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction mass is neither created nor destroyed. For example, the carbon atom in coal becomes carbon dioxide when it is burned. The carbon atom changes from a solid structure to a gas but its mass does not change. Similarly, the law of conservation of energy states that the amount of energy is neither created nor destroyed. For example, when you roll a toy car down a ramp and it hits a wall, the energy is transferred from kinetic energy to potential energy.
