Imagine that you live on an island that has a field of wheat and 100 chickens and you want to stay alive until you have the last amount of food available until the rescue arrives and knowing that you are not sure that you can be saved​

Respuesta :

Kill the chickens and eat them, then eat the cereal

Explanation:

Remember the energy pyramid of an ecosystem?. Energy transfer from one trophic level to another is very inefficient. A mere 10% of energy passed on next trophic level and converted to biomass with the rest being lost to the environment. This is why the energy pyramid tapers the higher you go.

Feeding the cereals to the chicken will see an energy loss of 90% from the cereals to the chicken. Subsequently, in the remaining 10% captured as biomass in the chicken, your body will only be able to capture about 10%. This means you will lose a lot of energy when you feed the cereals to the chicken and then resolve to eat the chicken.

The most efficient way to sustain your self by accumulating the most energy is, therefore, eating the chicken, then eat the cereal.
