Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

"1 – 5%".

Explanation:

The conversion efficiency, also known as trophic assimilation efficiency, refers to how much energy is retained in the consumer in comparison with the amount of energy stored in the producer or the organism in the previous trophic level. The higher the trophic level the higher conversion efficiency. Therefore, the conversion efficiency from herbivores to carnivores is very low, because carnivores are at the lowest trophic levels in the food chain. The conversion efficiency at this level reaches barely 5% in some cases. This is the reason why there are very few tertiary carnivores in comparison to the number of plants on Earth.

List 3 possible futures for the universe
Marina86 [1]

1 possible future is The Big Crunch. This theory assumes that the average density of the universe will be enough to stop its expansion and begin contracting.

2. Some theorists state that the expansion of the universe will go on forever, and if that happens, the universe will cool as it expands, and then it will become too cool to sustain life.

3. The Big Rip. The universe may keep expanding, as I mentioned before. But as it expands, the gravity may not be able to hold all the planets together, as it is now. Galaxies would tear apart first, followed by smaller black holes, planets and stars. Eventually, space would start expanding faster than the speed of light, and atoms would start breaking down into super small particles and everything would fall into nothing.

One consequence for nonprofits of using resources inefficiently is that .
Arada [10]
Non-profit organizations usually depend on grants or fund raising to cover their expenses so they must be very careful with their expenses.One consequence of this dependence can be running out of money. If they depend on fundraising and have regular fund raising campaigns then they have more independence as they rely on their own efforts to raise money rather than on government which can interfere in how they want to run their affairs.
