Animals in the food chain need to eat less food than the animal in the previous level did to stay alive. (1 point) Responses True True False

Answer 1

True. Animals in higher levels of the food chain (such as carnivores) typically require less energy in the form of food compared to the animals they consume (such as herbivores) because of energy loss at each trophic level. This loss primarily occurs due to metabolic processes and heat loss. Therefore, it is generally true that animals in the food chain need to consume less food than the animals at the previous level to stay alive.
