Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the first law of thermodynamics, energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another. So, as an organism becomes less efficient in converting energy from chemical to kinetic, it will produce more waste energy, which will be released in the form of heat, mostly as kinetic energy.
