5%


Question 5 (2 points)

Where does the remainder of the energy (carbon) go?


Some may leave the animal in its poop.

Some gets eaten by other animals

Some goes into metabolic reactions for the gazelle to help it grow and live

Both A and C

Answer 1

Both A and C are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some of the energy (carbon) from the gazelle that is not used by the lion for its own metabolic needs may be excreted in the lion's feces and returned to the environment. Similarly, some of the energy may have been used by the gazelle for its own metabolic needs before it was consumed, such as for growth and survival.
