A eucalyptus tree has a production value of 216 Joules. A giraffe feeds on the eucalyptus tree and converts 52 Joules of energy into its own biomass (e.g., liver, heart, skin, fat, cells). The remaining energy that the giraffe consumes is lost as heat of aerobic respiration and heat from producing feces and urine. Calculate the trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) between the two trophic levels (i.e., eucalyptus tree to giraffe). .

and converts 52 Joules of energy into its own biomass (e.g., liver, heart, skin, fat, cells). The
remaining energy that the giraffe consumes is lost as heat of aerobic respiration and heat from
