Question

which of the following is true about the efficiency of energy transfer in an ecosystem? a. the more energy the organism requires, the more efficient the energy transfer b. all energy transfers have the same efficiencies. c. the less energy the organism requires, the more efficient the energy transfer d. the most efficient energy transfers are in large, warm - blooded animals. please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, energy transfer efficiency is not related to the amount of energy an organism requires. Energy transfers do not have the same efficiencies. Large, warm - blooded animals are not the most efficient in energy transfer. In general, simpler organisms with lower energy requirements may have more efficient energy transfer processes as they have less complex metabolic and physiological needs.

Answer:

C. The less energy the organism requires, the more efficient the energy transfer
