Question

Which of the following best describes why in general there are more hares in the ecosystem than foxes.

In 1945 there was a major event that caused the number of hares to dramatically increase. That is why there continues to be more hares than foxes here.

Hares are a lot smaller than the foxes, so more of them can fit into different niches. They can hide better in all of the bushes and behind rocks.

This is because if only 10% of the energy gets passed on to the next trophic level, then you need to have more lower level animals available to support the animals higher up the food chain. The fox must eat several hares to gain enough energy for growth and development

Answer 1

C: This is because if only 10% of the energy gets passed on to the next trophic level, then you need to have more lower-level animals available to support the animals higher up the food chain. The fox must eat several hares to gain enough energy for growth and development
