Is it more efficient use of the Sun's energy for people to eat beef or salmon?
It's more efficient to eat cow because cows feed on plants which will have more energy than the salmon has, since salmon feed on smaller fishs which will make it have less energy than beef does.
Are plant cells more efficient in carrying out its functions than animal cells?
No, Plants are not more efficient. Animals are more efficient because they coordinate by hormones and CNS ( Central Nervous System ). But plants coordinate only by hormones, therefore animals are more efficient.
Why is an herbivores diet more energy efficient than a carnivores diet Explain why?
a herbiorous diet be argued as being more energy efficient tnan a carnivores
Why do herbivores lose more percentage of energy?
Because meat has more protein and energy is used a lot in carnivores, so they constantly eat meat. But herbivores lose more percentage of their energy because they aren't constantly eating fruits and vegetables. In humans, vegetarians don't have enough energy because they don't eat meat. Meat is a very good source of energy.
Are there more omnivores or carnivores in the world?
Carnivores eat only meat. Omnivores eat plants and meat. Herbivores (the third class) eat only plants.
Why it is more efficient to produce meat from cattle indoors?
Because outdoors cattle will burn off the energy that is used for meat production. If they are kept indoors they will have more energy to use for the conversion of feed into meat.
What do plants have these other pigments besides chlorophyll?
That is for efficient photosynthesis. More energy can be absorbed
Plants that produce this type of energy are more efficient than those that produce fossil fuel energy?
water energy
Is it more efficient use of the Sun's energy for people to eat beef or salmon?
It's more efficient to eat cow because cows feed on plants which will have more energy than the salmon has, since salmon feed on smaller fishs which will make it have less energy than beef does.
Why is it more energy efficient for humans to eat corn than beef?
Do you mean more energy efficient for the human's digestive system or more energy efficient for business' and corporations to produce? For a human, eating meat will be more energy efficient. This is because Meat will contain more fats which means more energy. Grains and vegetables are full of crap which the human body cannot fully digest. This means we have to cook or process the hell out of to absorb more of the nutrients plus eat a whole lot more because its less energy dense than the meat. Corporations try to promote grains as much as possible because they are easy to produce on a mass scale for maximum profit. THAT IS ALL THEY WANT, MAXIMUM PROFIT. They can have fields and fields crammed with corn or wheat making it more space efficient (Try cram hundreds of cows together and you get disease and there is not enough grass on the ground for them to eat so they feed them with....corn - cows aren't designed for this!) In terms of energy efficiency meat production and processing requires more hands on work from people where grains can be all processed more buy machines alone.
Why is it better for humans to obtain their energy from plants rather than animals?
Animals can produce the things we need and plants help us stay healthy. Like predators, we eat meat from animals. Most people are omnivorous, so that's why we get our food from plants and animals. -lu
How do vegetarians conserve natural resources?
Lots of resources are required to raise meat; if one does not eat meat, one supports more energy efficient methods of producing foods.It takes many pounds of vegetables to produce a pound of meat. The energy spent on agriculture increases if one raises meat.
Which type of oven is more energy efficient...gas or electric?
Gas ovens are generally more efficient with energy consumption.
Does green electricity make more power than other methods?
No. Some forms of renewable energy (e.g. solar cells) are much less efficient than conventional energy sources. Modern coal and natural gas power plants are about as efficient as it is possible to make an energy source. Hydroelectric power plants are about the only renewable energy source with efficiency near coal and natural gas power plants.
Where can I read about energy efficient air conditioners (industrial)?
To read more about energy efficient air conditioners, go to wikipedia and look up Energy star. This will give you information on how and why a unit will be more energy efficient and "green".
Are plant cells more efficient in carrying out its functions than animal cells?
No, Plants are not more efficient. Animals are more efficient because they coordinate by hormones and CNS ( Central Nervous System ). But plants coordinate only by hormones, therefore animals are more efficient.
Why is the sun the ultimate source of energy for us?
Because it gives energy to the plants, using pphotosynthisis. Herbivors then eat these plants, then meat eaters eat these. They each get the energy from the plants. This goes on and on. This is why more and more food needs to be eaten each level you increase in the food chain, because each time some energy is lost, the animal needs to eat more to get the same amount of energy.
