11
What does this diagram indicate about the energy relationships within the food web of Cayuga Lake?

C)It is energetically less expensive for humans to consume smelt than trout.
D)All of these are correct.
12

A)Stream food webs are often dependent on inputs of organic matter from the watershed, such as materials from trees.
