“The pyramid of energy is always upright” states thatAnswer choicesSelect only one optionREVISITThe energy conversion efficiency of herbivores is better than carnivoresThe energy conversion efficiency of carnivores is better than herbivoresProducers have the lowest energy conversion efficiencyEnergy conversion efficiency is the same in all trophic levels

Some people argue that by comparing the human digestive tract with typical carnivore and herbivore digestive tracts, we can see that humans are naturally carnivores. Others say it shows exactly the opposite.Bringing together all that you've learnt in this project, evaluate whether we can draw either conclusion. What more evidence do you think you might require?Note: Your teacher may suggest you use the class discussion board to discuss before writing your answers.

Which statement most directly supports the claim that different species of organisms use different metabolic strategies to meet their energy requirements for growth, reproduction, and homeostasis?A. Bacteria lack introns, while many eukaryotic genes contain many of these intervening sequences.B. Carnivores have more teeth that are specialized for ripping food, while herbivores have more teeth specialized for grinding food.C. During cold periods, pond-dwelling animals can increase the number of unsaturated fatty acids in their cell membrances, while some plants make antifreeze proteins to prevent ice crystal formation in their tissue.D. Plants generally use startch molecules for storage, while animals use glycogen and fats for storage.
