When our inner ears convert sound energy into neural impulses or our retinas convert light into neural impulses: a) no heat is generated, and so it is an exception to the first law of thermodynamics.
b) it is an exception to both laws of thermodynamics, because no usable energy is lost.
c) it is consistent with the second law of thermodynamics, but an exception to the first.
d) the conversion is consistent with both laws of thermodynamics.

d. the conversion is consistent with both laws of thermodynamics.

Explanation:

question: which statement best describes the different properties of metals?

answer: they are shiny and bend without breaking.

since metals have certain characteristics properties, they include the following: they are ductile, malleable, shiny, hard, lustrous, flexible and they are good conductor of heat and electricity. so therefore, metals are not dull and they are not non-flexible as listed. instead, they are shiny and flexible.

hope this , have a good day. c;
