Answer: 4%

Out of 5000kcal, the owl loses 2300kcal which mean it could only process 2700kcal. Out of 2700kcal processed, 2500 kcal is used for cellular respiration so there is 200 kcal used to make body cells. The production efficiency would be: 200kcal/5000kcal= 4%

Answer:

The correct answer would be option A.

Explanation:

Gina's model lacks many important factors about the particular study of damage to tree bark in the forest. This model does not explain the number of animals entering a particular area of forest.

This model does not tell, how much damage has been done. It also fails to tell what type of damage the tree has faced. It does not explain what type of bacteria evolved or carried by the animal.

Thus, the correct answer would be option A.

Hypothesis: A projected clarification for a development created as a place to begin for additional investigation.

Theory: A well-substantiated rationalization nonheritable through the methodology and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation
