GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

The energy transformation in leaf-cutter ants involves converting stored chemical energy into kinetic energy and transforming stored light energy into chemical energy.


Explanation:

The energy transformation taking place as the leaf-cutter ants carry pieces of leaves involves:

  • A. Stored chemical energy → Kinetic energy, where the chemical energy stored in the leaves is being converted into kinetic energy as the ants move the leaves.
  • B. Stored light energy → Chemical energy, is the process of photosynthesis where light energy is converted into chemical energy in the leaves.

This transformation is essential for the ants to perform work and supports their biological functions.
