Living systems obey the law of conservation of mass. Which of the following statements supports the main ideas of

the law of conservation of mass?

• The substances that take part in a chemical reaction are the same as the substances that are formed by the reaction.

• The masses of the substances that take part in a chemical reaction are less than the masses of the substances that

  are formed.

• The masses of the substances that take part in a chemical reaction are equal to the masses of the substances that

  are formed.

• The masses of the substances that take part in a chemical reaction are greater than the masses of the substances

  formed by the reaction.

How do organisms get the energy they need?

• Plants get energy from fertilizers, and animals get energy by drinking water.

• Plants get energy from glucose produced in the soil, and animals get energy directly from sunlight.

• Plants do not require energy because they do not move, and animals get energy by performing exercise.

• Plants produce their own energy through photosynthesis, and animals get energy from eating other organisms.
