Question 17
A food chain is a group of organisms connected to each other through their feeding habits. One organism is
consumed by a second one, which in turn is eaten by a third. The energy in virtually all food chains is first derived
from the Sun. As each organism grows and is consumed, only about 10 percent of the Sun's energy is transferred
to each subsequent organism in a food chain. People who live in poorer regions of the world where food is scarce
eat relatively little meat and depend principally on grains and other plants.
Based on these ideas, which of the following statements best supports eating habits observed in poorer regions of
the world?
Plants take up less space than animals
O It is easier to raise plants than it is to raise animals
There is a higher percentage of vegetarians among poor populations
O Plants store energy as carbohydrates which have more energy than fats
O 90% of the energy in plants is not transferred to the animals who eat them
