Consumption efficiency (CE) is the proportion of production at one trophic level (Prodn n-1) that is eaten by, or ingested, by the next trophic level (In) but Assimilation efficiency (AE) is the proportion of ingested energy assimilated in to blood stream

Which of the following is incorrect statement?

A) In terrestrial herbivore, AE is greater than CE

B) In aquatic herbivore AE is equal to CE 

C) CE of grass land herbivore is often greater than forest herbivore

D) AE of herbivore is often greater than carnivore

A small lake has three trophic levels- phytoplankton (autotrophs), Zooplankton (herbivore) and planktivorous fish (primary carnivore). In this lake, addition of nutrients is allowed to study the 'bottom up' effects". What is the expected biomass of phytoplankton and zooplankton tropic levels?
