The answer is B.
There is a general rule that only around 10% of the energy in an organism is transferred to the next trophic level.

Answer:

The correct answer would be B. It is used for cell functions or transformed to heat energy.

It can be explained with the help of ten percent law which states that only ten percent of the energy available at a particular trophic level is transferred to the higher trophic level.

The rest or maximum of the energy is lost as heat as a result of cellular respiration.

It is why the tuna only gets 100 joules (ten percent of 1000) of energy from sardine.

When a client's ileum becomes distended, the nurse knows that which reflex will inhibit gastric motility?
Otrada [13]
<span>When the client's ileum becomes distended, the nurse knows that the ileogastric reflex will inhibit gastric motility. When the ileum becomes distended, the ileogastric reflex will also prevent chyme from continuing to move into the intestines. Chyme is an acidic mixture of gastric juices and partly digested food that passes from the stomach to the intestines, but it will be inhibited from its movement by the ileogastric reflex when the intestines are already distended.</span>
