If we have a plate that has 2500 colonies on it, can we use this plate to calculate CFU's

No, the solution with bacteria in it needs to be diluted in order to be in the range of 30 – 300.

A colony-forming unit –CFU is used to estimate the number of viable (ability to divide by binary fission) microbes in a sample.  

A sample of microbes is diluted and spread on a plate. Then, the number of colonies is counted, assuming that each colony have grown from a single colony-forming unit, or CFU.

Plates with more than 300 colonies are difficult to count while those with less than 30 colonies give statistically unreliable numbers of colonies to count.

Explanation: I think the way to do it is to just divide the biomass of the primary carnivores by the herbivores since they are the trophic levels right next to each other. Therefore, the efficiency of energy transfer is (2360/25900)*100%=9.112%. Hope that helped!

MrRa [10]
There are choices for this question namely:

<span>A) genetic bottleneck. 
B) sexual selection. 
C) habitat differentiation. 
D) founder effect.
</span>
The correct answer is founder effect. The definition of founder effect is the loss of genetic variation when a new population is established in a small number of individuals from a larger population. The larger population in the context is the ecosystem in Hawaii before it rose from the sea surface. After it rose above the sea surface, most organisms will not be able to survive in land but there will be a small population that can evolve from there.
