The Principle of Allocation States

The principle of allocation states

A) if an organism uses energy for one function it reduces the amount of energy available for other functions.
B) organisms have a tendency to select the smallest prey available rather than exert more energy in capturing larger prey.
C) organisms that build larger nests produce fewer offspring.
D) organisms have a tendency to allocate more time and energy to a single preferred offspring while neglecting others.
E) plants allocate their energy such that larger seedlings come from smaller seeds.
