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. select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d

Hello there!

Your answer would be C. The less energy the organism requires, the more efficient the energy transfer.

The reason why this would be your answer is because of trophic levels. To sum up energy in trophic levels, and the trophic levels increase, the energy decreases. This happens because metabolic heat loses energy when one organism from a different trophic level is used by another organism from a different trophic level. LTE (level transference efficiency) shows how much energy there is in the different  trophic levels.

The answer is C. on edgen.

Explanation:

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

answer: c

explanation:

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
