On a per-kilogram basis, why does a small mammal such as a shrewrequire so much more energy than does an elephant or other largemammal?
If Blue Whales each require 1,000kg of Krill per day to survive, and Krill have an energy density of 4,600 kJ/kg. How much of the energy contained in each kg of Krill eaten by a Blue Whale is available to the Killer Whale that feeds on a Blue Whale? (Provide an exact figure, not a percentage.)
Can a bear use all the energy contained in the body of the fish it eats? Explain, and based on your explanation, predict and further explain whether a forest would likely have more predators or more prey animals (by weight)?
