Answer:
The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.
Explanation:
A tentative explanation of a phenomenon that can be tested I believe is a scientific experiment.
One reason is that the two kinds of birds live in two different types of environments and also the sharp billed ground finch does not just it plant matter. It feast on the blood of bigger sea birds. This is an adaptation that it has so it does not have to eat plant matter and compete for food

Answer:
C. Plants produce chemicals to deter herbivores. Bitter cassava stores toxic compounds in its tissues. Bitter cassava should incur less damage, and therefore have higher yields.
Explanation:
Bitter cassava are able to produce higher yield because they are less disturbed by herbivores due to the production of herbivore-deterring chemicals in their tissues, especially the tissues that are above the ground.
Sweet cassava that is not able to produce the herbivores-deterring chemicals incur damages to its tissues. These damages affect the physiological functions of the plant and thus leads to reduced yield.
<em>Options A is incorrect because herbivores can only get to above the ground tissues.</em>
<em>Option B and D are factually incorrect.</em>
The correct option is C.
