47. How does the first law of thermodynamics explain the way that energy moves from an herbivore to a carnivore? A, All of chemical energy from the herbivore moves into the carnivore. B. Some energy in the herbivore does not end up in the carnivore because it is lost as heat. C. Some chemical energy from the herbivore is converted into ATP in the carnivore. D. Chemical energy from the carnivore may end up some day in other herbivores. 48. Which statement is consistent with the law of conservation of mass? A.
