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 that the bug gained from eating the plant? Explain why in terms of law of conservation of energy.

Answer:

No, because the energy is always the same because every time the frog eats it the animal that eats it will get the same nutrients

No because the fly waisted some of the energy so it will reduce like 0.001 of the energy he got
