Q3.15. Which of the following statements about secondary production is false? The production efficiency of endothermic species tends to be lower than that of ectotherms. The production efficiency of herbivores tends to be higher than that of carnivores. Generally, an individual's production efficiency will decline as the C:N ratio of its food increases. All else being equal, small animals have lower production efficiencies than large ones.

Energy Transfer Efficiency Equations Please work out these problems, show your work, and turn in online. Consumption Efficiency (CE) = Consumed energy (Ingestion) / Net production energy of the next lower trophic level (Prey production) x 100 Assimilation Efficiency (AE) = Assimilated energy (Assimilation) / Consumed energy (Ingestion) x 100 Net Production Efficiency (NPE) = Net Production Energy (Production = growth and reproduction) / Assimilated Energy (Assimilation) x 100 Gross Production Efficiency (GPE) = AE x NPE = Production / ingestion Ecological Efficiency (EE) = CE x AE x NPE = Consumer Production/Prey production
