Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biomass stored as fat or starch does not reduce the efficiency of energy transfer between trophic levels, as it can still be consumed by organisms in higher trophic levels. In fact, it can even increase efficiency as it allows for energy storage and potentially larger consumers in higher trophic levels. The other options all reduce efficiency by either losing energy as heat, physically unable to be consumed, or lacking availability.
