Question

lisa picks an orange off a tree and eats it. which of the following best describes this transfer of energy? (1 point) the trophic energy stored in the orange is transferred to lisa. the ecological energy stored in the orange is transferred to lisa. the chemical energy stored in the orange is transferred to lisa. the secondary energy stored in the orange is transferred to lisa.

Explanation:

Oranges store energy in the form of chemical energy (from organic molecules like glucose). When Lisa eats the orange, her body breaks down these molecules to use the chemical energy. Trophic energy relates to food chains/levels, ecological energy is not a standard term for this, and secondary energy is incorrect here as the orange is a primary producer - derived food. So the correct description is about chemical energy transfer.

Answer:

The chemical energy stored in the orange is transferred to Lisa.
