HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!
Mark and Steven were conducting an investigation where they were measuring the energy of a glass marble as it rolled down a ramp. According to their calculations, the total energy of the marble decreased. Which statement below is the best explanation for the decrease in total energy?
A) It decreased because it was destroyed by the interaction with the ramp
B) The total energy always decreases in an energy conversion
C) They were incorrect; the energy totals should have been the same
D) The energy decreased because heat resulted from friction between the marble and the ramp
Answers
Answer 1
B) The total energy always decreases in an energy conversion,
This is because: Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level. Trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) measures the amount of energy that is transferred between trophic levels
