Before assessing the two given cases, an assumption needs to be made about the digestion of the two types of food items, corn and beef. Let us assume that both get digested by expending same amount of energy by the human body. Let the amount of energy at producer level be an arbitrary X.
Case 1: Corn to human:
Since corn is at the producer level, it will have X amount of energy. The transfer of energy from corn to human will take place with a loss of 90% energy at the producer level. Hence the humans will receive 10% of X amount of energy.
Case 2: Corn to cow to human:
Since corn has X amount of energy, only 10% will pass to the next level, i.e. cow. So cow has 10% of X. Cow transfers only 10% of the energy that it has. Hence humans receive only 10% of 10% of X amount of energy.
It can be seen that humans receive more energy in case 1 than case 2. Hence we can say that it is more efficient for humans to feed on corn.
More competition for food, because there wont be enough to go around
Answer:
Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive
Explanation:
The answer is Vascular tissue
Both lipids and carbohydrates are important in animal cells because store energy. The main biological functions of lipids include storing energy, signaling, and acting as structural components of cell membranes. Carbohydrates on the other hand have six major functions in the body; including providing energy and regulation of blood glucose, sparing the use of proteins for energy, breakdown of fatty acids and preventing ketosis.
