In each stage only 10% is passed !!

As we know not a single animal even human is capable of absorbing whole energy present in glucose !! only 45% of energy present in glucose is used by humans in oxidation !!

so now you can understand the whole food web is not as much efficient !! Thus every time 90% energy is lost as a waste , i am not saying it is lost , it is there but organism is not capable of using that !!

Why would you learn less about an organism if it is were isolated from its surroundings than if you were able to observe the sam
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

this one`s been up for debate for awhile now.

1. it depends on the organism

learning about an organism could be considered 'easier' to study in different ways. for example, if you are studying marine life, you will most likely have to keep it in a water habitat to watch it alive. If you are studying a land species, then watching from it`s natural habitat will give you more accurate results. sometimes the environment can affect an organisms internal systems more than you may think. this leads into my second point.

2. it depends on what you are trying to study

if you are trying to learn about the mating process, seasonal activity, migration, or external behavior, then monitoring it from it`s natural habitat or an area that is a close copy is your best option. but if you are looking into studying internal organs/systems or cells, then in <em>most</em> cases, the organism will need to be taken out of its natural habitat. only in very careful situations is it left in a habitat during examination.
