Suppose a bug eats a plant. Then a frog eats the bug. Does the frog gain the same amount of energy from eating the bug tat the bug gained from eating the plant? Explain why in terms of the law of conservation of energy.

No because the energy is always the same because every time the frog has to eat it eats a bug and the animal that eats it will get the same nutreints
