Define ecological efficiency, including ranges of ecological efficiencies in nature. The proportion of energy in the biomass of the primary producers of an ecosystem, ranging from 50-80%. The percent transfer of energy from the top of the food web to the bottom, ranging from 1-3%. The percentage of energy in the biomass of herivores transferred to decomposers, ranging from 20-50%. The percentage of energy in the biomass at a lower trophic level that is transferred to the next higher trophic level, ranging from 5 to 20%.

Microbes

Microbes are microscopic living organisms that can only be detected with the help of specialized laboratory equipment called a microscope. These living organisms are so small that they are not visible to the naked eye.
