This document contains the answer sheet for Systems & Model Worksheet 2. It provides answers to multiple choice and short answer questions about energy transfer through food webs and agricultural systems. (1) It calculates that 99.3% of energy is lost when traveling up a food chain, from 900 kcal at the start to 893.4 kcal after one transfer. (2) Harvesting crops is more efficient than fishing, as crops obtain energy directly from primary producers while fish are several steps removed in the food web. (3) Inputs, outputs, and impacts are listed for a milk production system, with food, drugs, and waste mentioned as examples. The impacts of these on pollution and the

ANSWER SHEET 2
(a)
(i)
900 – 6.6 = 893.4 kcal lost;
893.4
× 100;
900
= 99.3% loss;

there is energy lost from respiration and waste production at
each level within a food web;
crop production harvests food from lower down in the food
web than harvesting fish from the top, therefore it is more efficient;
crops capture energy directly from primary source;
fish harvesting utilizes a resource that is several steps away
from primary production;

animals provide a source of protein (essential for the human
diet);
animals convert vegetation to food that would not be available
to humans directly;
produce diverse products (milk/meat/blood/wool);
taste and culture affect demand;
