5、填空题:
Read the paragraphs below, and use the given clues to make a definition of your own.​​Animals must eat other organisms to stay alive. Since they derive their nutrition from other organisms, they are called telpons. In contrast, calpons (most plants, some bacteria, and some protists) trap solar energy through photosynthesis and use that energy​to synthesize all of their components.​​Telpons are ________________________________.​​​
答案: 【 animals that get energy from eating other organisms.

6、填空题:
Read the paragraphs below, and use the given clues to make a definition of your own.‍The geradic rate of an animal (see Chapter 41) is a measure of the overall energy needs that must be met by the animal’s ingestion and digestion of food. The basal geradic rate of a human is about 1,300-1,500 kmof/day for an adult female and 1,600-1,800kmof/day for an adult male.‍Geradic rate is ________________________.‍‌‍
答案: 【 an animal's total energy need

7、填空题:
Read the paragraphs below, and use the given clues to make a definition of your own.​It is possible, of course, to quantify the moffenic value of any food an animal eats. It is also possible to quantify the moffenic cost of anything an animal does. By comparing moffens consumed with moffens expended, it is possible to construct sceltel budgets for any set of circumstances. Sceltel budgets allow ecologists and evolutionists to apply a cost-benefit analysis to any behavior.​Sceltel budget is ____________________________________.​​​
答案: 【 comparison of moffens (calories) consumed with calories expended.
