Which statement best describes how organisms demonstrate the transformation of energy? Light energy from the Sun is converted into mechanical energy in a rabbit, which is converted into thermal energy and dispersed into the atmosphere.

Light energy from the Sun is converted into chemical energy in a wildflower, which is converted into mechanical energy in a deer that eats the wildflower.

Light energy from the Sun is converted into mechanical energy in a deer, which produces waste that is absorbed by a wildflower to produce chemical energy.

Light energy from the Sun is converted into chemical energy in a mushroom, which is converted into thermal energy as the mushroom breaks down dead matter.

lesson summarykaryotypes a genome is the full set of all the genetic information that an organism carries in its dna. chromosomes arebundles of dna and protein found in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell.

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
