(b) Energy cannot be 100 percent efficiently transformed from one type to another

(c) All living organisms are composed of cells

(d) Input of heat energy increases the rate of movement of atoms and molecules

I had been asked this question during an online interview.

The origin of the question is Bioenergetics and Thermodynamics topic in section Principles of Bioenergetics and Glycolysis of Biochemistry

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) Energy can neither be destroyed nor created

The best I can explain: First law of thermodynamics can also be termed as law of conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be destroyed nor created but can be transformed from one form of energy to another.
