Figure 1 shows the flow of energy through a marine food chain consisting of phytoplankton and krill. The numbers represent energy values in kJ m−2 year−1\text{kJ m}^{-2} \text{ year}^{-1}kJ m−2 year−1.
The krill is more efficient than the phytoplankton at converting energy.
The energy conversion efficiency of the krill is 8.75%.
Calculate how many times more efficient the krill is at converting energy than the phytoplankton.
The equation for energy conversion efficiency is:
energy conversion efficiency=energy used for growthenergy input×100 \text{energy conversion efficiency} = \frac{\text{energy used for growth}}{\text{energy input}} \times 100 energy conversion efficiency=energy inputenergy used for growth×100Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
