• sound energy to thermal energy

• thermal energy to chemical energy

• mechanical energy to sound energy

Which one best describes the flow of energy?

• fungi->bacteria->bats->guano

• bats->guano->flatworms->salamanders

• salamanders->bacteria->fungi->guano

• guano->bacteria->flatworms->salamander
