In which of the following scenarios is chemical energy being transformed into thermal energy? a a lion’s temperature increases as it uses the energy it gets from its prey b a fish is able to swim using the energy it gets from eating plants c a squirrel uses the energy in seeds to build structures in its body d a tree captures sunlight to produce the sugars it uses for food

The transformation of chemical energy into thermal energy is best explained by option C.

Option C. Squirrel uses the energy in seeds to build structures in its body.

The Law of conservation of energy states that if the chemical energy is converted into thermal energy during a process, then total energy will be constant during the process.

In the given options, Option C will be best suited for the energy conservation law.

When the squirrel ate the seeds, it gets the energy. The seeds contain chemical energy which is converted into thermal energy when the squirrel eats seeds. This thermal energy helps to frame the structures inside the body.

Hence we can conclude that option C is the best explaination.

the awnser (i think) is d correct me if im wrong

potential energy is directly proportional to height.

more height = more potential energy.

greatest increase in height = greatest increase in potential energy

where are the points with the greatest increase in height ?

has to be c-e or d-e .
