The second law of thermodynamics states that all energy transformations result in more disordered energy. How does this relate to energy transformation in a living organism?
A) The energy taken in as food is eventually converted into kinetic energy.
B) The energy taken in as food is eventually converted into heat energy.
C) The energy taken in as kinetic energy is eventually converted into heat energy.
D) The energy taken in as heat energy is eventually converted into kinetic energy.
E) No energy in a living organism can undergo more than one transformation.
