I will choose : Malaria.

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by a parasite of the genus Plasmodium (the most predominant is the falciparum species), spread by the bite of certain species of anopheles mosquitoes. The malaria parasite is mainly transmitted, at night, during the bite by a female mosquito of the genus Anopheles, itself contaminated after stinging an individual with malaria. The parasite infects the victim's liver cells and then circulates in the blood, colonizing the red blood cells and destroying them.

The symptoms are: generalized fatigue, loss of appetite, dizziness, headache, digestive disorders (gastric embarrassment), nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and diffuse myalgia.

Which statement best explains the decrease in energy availability in a food chain?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: The correct answer is D) Some energy in each trophic level is used for life processes.  

Food chain represents the flow of energy through various living organisms (which lie at different trophic levels) in an ecosystem. The energy flows from one trophic level to the next and it is decreased with subsequent trophic levels.

As per the law of 10% energy transfer, only 10 % of the energy is transferred from one level to the next as the rest of the energy at every trophic level is utilized in various metabolic processes like respiration, digestion, excretion and also liberated as heat in the surrounding.

Due to this, the energy available at any trophic level is less than the previous trophic level.
