Why could earth support more people if they eat at lower trophic levels

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ Earth could support more people if they eat at lower trophic levels because energy transfer between trophic levels is inefficient, with a significant amount of energy lost at each step. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Energy transfer efficiency: Only about 10% of the energy from one trophic level is transferred to the next level. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Lower trophic levels: Eating at lower trophic levels means consuming plants or plant-based products directly. ‖ ‖ c ⋮ Energy pyramid: The energy pyramid shows that more energy is available at lower trophic levels, which can support a larger population. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Trophic level efficiency ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Eating at lower trophic levels is more efficient in terms of energy use, allowing more food to be available for human consumption and thus supporting a larger population. ⚹◊How does consuming organisms at lower trophic levels create a more efficient energy transfer for human populations on Earth?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
