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

Answer 1

The answer is C. on edgen

Step-by-step explanation:

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

(Trust me its not A.)

Answer 2

a. The more energy the organism requires, the more efficient the energy transfer.

Step-by-step explanation:

• As the transfer of energy takes place in an ecosystem when the organism is consumed completely and thus when transferring the energy from one trophic level to another level the amount, of energy, has to be of larger quantities and thus the energy transfer will be effective.

• Due to the fact that the energy is lost in the form of heat and thus the conversion of energy takes place gradually n the tropics and food web.
