As we know, energy is lost moving from one trophic level to the next (total energy moved from one trophic level to the next is usually estimated at 10%). The total loss is known as trophic efficiency. Trophic efficiency is made of 3 parts (3 places where energy is lost). You need to pick TWO of the three individual efficiencies that make up the overall trophic efficiency and for EACH, tell me: a. What do we call this part of trophic efficiency? b. How is energy lost in this part of trophic efficiency?
PLEASE ANSWER A AND B

You need to pick TWO of the three individual efficiencies that make up the overall trophic efficiency and for EACH, tell me:
a. What do we call this part of trophic efficiency?
b. How is energy lost in this part of trophic efficiency?
c. We discussed characteristics of an organism or environment that made it more or less efficient in certain parts of trophic efficiency (we did not use this one in class, but for instance, endoparasites have a higher xxxxxxx efficiency than ectoparasites). Tell me what characteristics of an organism/ecosystem (other than the example above) would make it more or less efficient for this part of Trophic efficiency. (Make sure to say what characteristics makes it more rather than less efficient)
