Owls eat rats, mice, shrews, and small birds. assume that, over a period of time, an owl consumes 5,000 j of animal material. the owl loses 2,300 j in feces and owl pellets and uses 2,600 j for cellular respiration. what is the production efficiency of this owl

The production efficiency of this owl is %

Explanation:

Given -

Energy from food J

Energy lost in feces J

Energy used in cellular respiration (metabolism) J

The production efficiency of consumer in an ecosystem is given by

(Energy from food- Energy lost in feces-Energy used in cellular respiration (metabolism)) divided by (Energy from food- Energy lost in feces)

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

%

Hence, the production efficiency of this owl is %

the level of progesterone is low at the pre-ovulatory phase of the cycle but it gradually increases and the levels are high at the luteal phase. if pregnancy occurs, the level of progesterone will be high throughout the pregnancy.

if egg is fertilized and the mother gets pregnant, progesterone starts preparing the uterus for the implantation. it starts building up the lining of uterus and make it hostile of the period of pregnancy.
