Amarine scientist measures the energy found in a system consisting of a shark and fish. after the shark consumes the fish, the marine scientist concluded that chemical energy from the fish was transformed to kinetic energy in the shark. does this result validate or invalidate the law of conservation of energy? invalidate, because energy should not leave a closed system invalidate, because the type of energy should stay the same validate, because energy can change forms validate, because energy can be destroyed

Option C, Validate, because energy can change forms

Explanation:

When a shark eats a fish, the chemical energy with in the fish gets into the shark as kinetic energy. In this entire process, energy has changed its form from chemical to kinetic.  

As per the law of conservation of energy, an energy can neither be created nor it can be destroyed it can only be transformed from one form to another. Hence, the case of shark eating a fish validates the law of conservation of energy.
