Asked in ETEA MDCAT 2006 2006

How much energy will be fixed by the primary carnivores?

Correct answer: D. None of above.

  • A. 2317 Kcal
  • B. 232 kcal
  • C. 1564 kcal
  • D. None of above.

Explanation

The correct answer is 'None of above.' This is because as organisms move up trophic levels, there is a significant loss of energy, with only a small percentage being transferred to the next trophic level. Without specific information on the number of herbivores or primary carnivores, it is impossible to determine the exact amount of energy that will be fixed by the primary carnivores. Therefore, the correct answer is 'None of above.'
