The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed-it can only change form or be transferred. Which of the following is evidence to support the law of conservation of energy found in all living systems?

Most plants and animals begin their life cycle with small energy needs and gain more requirements as they develop.

Decomposes transfer energy stored in the molecules of the dead organism to create new biomass for other organisms to feed on.

The total energy of all organisms is an ecosystem remains the same over time.

The total mass of dead organism equals the total mass of matter released to the environment by decomposition.
