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

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
