Question a9859e
- For each data egory, the following bars are shown:
- escaping
- pursuing
- The data for the 7 egories are as follows:
- 30–39 percent of maximal speed:
- escaping: 0 species
- pursuing: 1 species
- 40–49 percent of maximal speed:
- escaping: 0 species
- pursuing: 0 species
- 50–59 percent of maximal speed:
- escaping: 2 species
- pursuing: 1 species
- 60–69 percent of maximal speed:
- escaping: 1 species
- pursuing: 1 species
- 70–79 percent of maximal speed:
- escaping: 2 species
- pursuing: 0 species
- 80–89 percent of maximal speed:
- escaping: 3 species
- pursuing: 1 species
- 90–100 percent of maximal speed:
- escaping: 8 species
- pursuing: 3 species
- 30–39 percent of maximal speed:
It may seem that the optimal strategy for an animal pursuing prey or escaping predators is to move at maximal speed, but the energy expense of exploiting full speed capacity can disfavor such a strategy even in escape contexts, as evidenced by the fact that blank
Which choice most effectively uses data from the graph to complete the text?
most lizard species use about the same percentage of their maximal speed when escaping predation as they do when pursuing prey.
multiple lizard species move at an average of less than 90% of their maximal speed while escaping predation.
more lizard species use, on average, 90%–100% of their maximal speed while escaping predation than use any other percentage of their maximal speed.
at least 4 lizard species use, on average, less than 100% of their maximal speed while pursuing prey.
