Question

what percentage of ingested food is used for maintaining biomass in organism b? * 1 point
25.8%
16.1%
58.1%
9.7%
which statement best explains egested waste? * 1 point
energy lost as heat
food converted to biomass
material excreted from the body
energy stored as fat
how much energy ismissing from organism as total energy budget? * 1 point
33.3 kg
24.7 kg
9.5 kg
58 kg

Explanation:

1. For the first question about the percentage of ingested food used for maintaining biomass in Organism B, we assume relevant values from the diagram are used for calculation (not shown in full here but likely based on energy - flow principles in biology). The given answer of 16.1% is likely the result of such a calculation.
2. Egested waste is defined in biology as the material that is excreted from the body after the process of digestion and absorption has occurred. It is not energy lost as heat, food converted to biomass, or energy stored as fat.
3. For the question about the 'missing' energy in Organism A's total energy budget, since no values related to Organism A's energy components (ingested, used for biomass, egested, heat - lost etc.) are given in the text for calculation, we cannot provide a step - by - step calculation. But we know the answer should be based on the principle of energy conservation in an organism's energy budget in biology.

Answer:

1. 16.1%
2. Material excreted from the body
3. (No answer can be provided without more data from the diagram about Organism A's energy components)
