Answer 1

Explanation:

vulture is also the last trophic level and a top carnivore. It is not an apex predator because it does not hunt for prey, it is a scavenger.

The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.
