Question

the conversion efficiency from herbivores to carnivores is the least efficient of the trophic levels with an average conversion of _____. a. 1 - 5% b. 0.5 - 1% c. 7 - 12% d. 15 - 20% please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

In ecological energy - transfer between trophic levels, the conversion efficiency from herbivores to carnivores is low. On average, it is about 1 - 5%. This is due to energy losses in metabolic processes, heat production, and incomplete digestion.
