1. Energy transfer becomes inefficient in higher trophic levels in a food chain. Predators utilize more energy in obtaining food than their prey. The number of organisms and the amount of biomass defines energy relationships among organisms in trophic levels. Most top predators are huge in size but their population is lower because there is not enough energy to support a large population of these predators (Odum and Barrett).

2. A population of infinite size is seen less likely to evolve since it would be almost resistant to random fluctuations within the environment. Small populations on the other hand are prone ...

Appropriately, his comedy The Taming of the Shrew is no different.

- The company incursion and entry into the Chinese market was an ethnocentric move and measure. It was because at this point, the Chinese state and society by extension had banned potato imports.
