Answer:

Because they lose most of the energy as heat when they perform metabolic activities

Explanation:

Cells of all living organisms require energy in form of ATP to perform their cellular functions. In an ecosystem, organisms obtain this energy by feeding on one another. However, these energy transfer starts from organisms capable of using sunlight called PRODUCERS e.g plants.

Herbivores, which are PRIMARY CONSUMERS get their energy by feeding on these plants. However, according to the PYRAMID OF ENERGY, which represents the flow of energy in an ecosystem, only a few portion of the energy (about 10%) derived by plants from the sun gets transferred to herbivores. This is because most of the energy (about 90%) is lost as heat when the plants undergo metabolic activities.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Assuming that this question makes reference to the survivability of the two moth variations, we can confirm that the brown-colored moth will be better adapted to survive in the winter months.

<h3>Why are the brown moths more likely to survive?</h3>

This has to do with their ability to better hide from predators. As described in the question, their primary predator are birds that hunt them while resting on the tree bark. This means that the white-colored moths will stand out against the dark tree bark and be easier prey for the birds. This will eventually lead to all the moths in the area being brown-colored through the process of natural selection.  

Therefore, we can confirm that the brown-colored moth will be better adapted to survive in the winter months due to their ability to hide from predators.
