Yоu're explаining tо а friend why fоod chаin lengths are generally short. For each statement below, indicate whether you would include it in your explanation or not. Consider both whether the statement is true and whether it is relevant for explaining why food chains are short. If the statement is false, select "don't include". If the statement is not relevant for answering the question, you will also select "don't include". In other words, you will only include statements that are both correct and relevant in your response to your friend. A) Organisms cannot digest all of the food that they eat. For example, many predators cannot consume the bones of their prey. [A] B) The total amount of available energy increases as you go up trophic levels from primary producers to tertiary consumers. [B] C) One of the laws of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed – it can only change from one form to another. [C] D) The primary productivity of aquatic ecosystems is often limited by nitrogen or phosphorus. [D] E) Liebig's law of the minimum suggests that only 10% of energy can be transferred upwards across trophic levels because energy transfer involves the loss of usable energy. [E]
