If total food calories exceed daily energy expenditure, excess calories accumulate as <u>fat in adipose tissue</u>
Explanation:
Calories is the measurement of energy released when the food is digested.
Proteins, carbohydrates and fats get digested to release energy.
Proteins and carbohydrates yield approximately equal amount of energy on getting digested. While fats yield maximum amount of energy.
If the amount calories produced by digestion of food exceeds the total amount of calories used up then the excess calories are stored as fats in the adipose tissue of the body.
This is the major reason why overeating and decreased physical activities results in obesity.
True. The correct option is C.
<h3>Energy transfer in the ecosystem</h3>
Energy is transferred from lower to higher trophic levels of the food chain in any ecosystem.
In other words, energy is transferred when primary consumers feed on producers, when secondary consumers feed on primary consumers, and so on.
However, when energy is transferred through feeding from lower to higher trophic levels, a certain percentage of the energy is lost to the surroundings as heat.
In actual fact, scientists believe that about 90% (and not 30%) of the energy is lost as heat to the surrounding. Only about 10% of the energy is converted to useful energy.

Cell division that produce two daughter cells.
DNA is very good at replicating itself.
The mass of a tree is primarily carbon. The carbon comes from carbon dioxide used during photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants convert the sun's energy into chemical energy which is captured within the bonds of carbon molecules built from atmospheric carbon dioxide and water.
