A: food chain

In many functions of a living organism, it cannot make its own energy. It uses energy from its environment, retrieves and converts into a usable and edible matter. Organisms that can do this process is the autotrophs, they can facilitate photosynthesis which they gather energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide in order to create energy by then, the transfer of this energy to other organism is played by the food chain –food web.

The question here is one after a lesson discussing the laws of thermodynamics. Within this lesson, you may find the fallowing passage: "According to the first law, an organism can absorb energy from its environment, or it can give up some of its energy to its surroundings. However, the total energy of the organism and its surroundings is always the same. The organism can't create the energy it needs to live. Instead, it must capture it from the environment. Once it captures energy, the organism can use the energy for its own biological work."

Answer: First Law of Thermodynamics
