Question

Biological systems use free energy based on empirical data that all organisms require a constant energy input. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. For living organisms, which of the following statements is an important consequence of this first law? Group of answer choices

Answer 1

The correct answer would be -The organism must obtain all of the energy necessary or required for life from its environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The study of the energy movement or transaction that occurs between living organisms and the environment in different methods and structures is biological thermodynamics.

The energy can not be created or destroyed according to the 1st law of thermodynamics. Life can not make energy but must get or attain it through its environment ultimately.

Thus, the correct answer would be -The organism must get all of the energy required or necessary for life from its environment ultimately.
