Is lifting a bag of sugar from one shelf to another easier that lifting it to the second shelf all at once?

In terms of strict physics, it doesn't matter - the overall increase of potential energy is the same. In terms of human effort, it'll be easier doing two short lifts rather than one long.
It is less work to lift the object all the way to its final destination in one step.
The bag of sugar now has additional potential energy equal to two shelves of height, the work done being additive to the final state (and in both cases positive work). The sugar may now also be at a more convenient location.
The amount of work is the same wheater the bag is moved all at once or in two stages provided the total height lifted is the same in either case

How high is a shelf if 800 joules of work is done lifting a 200 newton box?
1 joule = 1 newton-meter 800 joules = 800 newton-meters = (200 newtons) x ('H' meters) H = 800 N-m / 200 N = 4 meters
Does the weight change when you lift an object from one shelf to a higher shelf?
Yes very very slightly.

00 joules of work was done lifting a 200 newton box to a shelf directly above the box. How many meters high was the shelf?
0 / 200 = 0 meters.

If you perform 40 joules of work lifting a 10-N bix from the floor to a shelf how high is the shelf?
The height of the shelf can be calculated using the formula: work done = force x distance. In this case, the work done is 40 J, the force is 10 N, so the distance (height of the shelf) can be calculated as 40 J / 10 N = 4 meters.
If you put a book on a shelf you increase its?
Accessibility, visibility, and organization. Placing a book on a shelf also helps protect it from damage or loss, making it easier to find and read when needed.
Twenty five plants on five shelves Each shelf has two more plants than the shelf above it How many plants are on each shelf?
Top shelf has one plant, second shelf has three plants, third shelf has five plants, fourth shelf has seven plants and the bottom shelf has nine plants. 1+3+5+7+9=25
