Question

multiple answer 2 points which of the following are behavioral adaptations that improve predator energy efficiency? (select all that apply) ambush hunting that reduces energy spent chasing prey scavenging carcasses left by other predators using photosynthesis in muscle tissue to generate more energy resting between hunts to conserve (save) energy hunting in coordinated groups

Explanation:

Predators use various strategies to improve energy - efficiency. Ambush hunting reduces the energy spent chasing prey. Resting between hunts conserves energy. Scavenging carcasses left by other predators is also an energy - efficient behavior as it doesn't require the energy of a full - scale hunt. Hunting in coordinated groups can also be energy - efficient as it can increase the success rate with less individual energy expenditure. However, muscle tissue in predators cannot perform photosynthesis.

Answer:

Ambush hunting that reduces energy spent chasing prey, Resting between hunts to conserve (save) energy, Scavenging carcasses left by other predators, Hunting in coordinated groups
