Transcribed Image Text:6 The diagram below shows what happens to energy as it passes through an herbivorous mammal
(a wildebeest).
ticks
5% of this energy
stored in tissue
60% of this energy passes
through the wildebeest
energy
contained
within food
a i State the source of the energy in the food eaten by the wildebeest.
State the form in which the energy is present in the carbohydrate eaten by the wildebeest.
Name the process that makes the remaining 35% of the energy in the food available
to the wildebeest.
ii
b i
ii State three ways in which the energy may be used within the wildebeest.
The bird on the wildebeest's back is an oxpecker that feeds both on blood-sucking parasites (ticks)
living on the wildebeest, and on blood from the wildebeest's wounds.
ci Drawa food web to show the feeding relationships of the organisms in the diagram.
ii Explain why there must always be fewer oxpeckers than ticks in this food web.
