Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When an organism oxidizes food, some of the energy is lost. Which explains this loss of energy?
A
Energy is lost or released as heat.
B
Energy is converted to waste
C
Energy is stored for later use.
D
Energy is converted to chemical compounds.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When an organism oxidizes food, some of the energy is lost. Which best explains this loss of energy? Energy is stored for later use.

Detailed explanation-2: -What happens if an organism has a loss of energy or energy flow? They wouldn’t have energy to power processes so they won’t survive. Why does the cell undergo the step-wise function to control energy release through cellular respiration?

Detailed explanation-3: -Thus Respiration is important biochemical reaction process of oxidation by which food materials are oxidized to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Key Points. Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level.

Detailed explanation-5: -A) Energy may be lost from organisms in the form of : 1)wastes by way of decomposers which breakdown wastes converting it into chemical energy 2) respiration by way of consumers which breakdown carbon and attach them with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide.
