Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of energy conservation, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. During photosynthesis, plants convert light energy into chemical energy, adhering to this principle by transforming one form of energy into another without any loss or gain in the total amount of energy.
