Suggest a reason that the mass of protein and lipid mixture eaten at 25:1 is lower than at 50:1.
[1]
Markscheme
- the mixture was closer to what the bees ate naturally;
- the bees like the taste better/prefer sucrose;
- there was more lipid in the 25:1 mixture so they achieved their daily lipid/energy requirement with less mass of food;
- the bees eating 50:1 diet ate more to reach their daily lipid requirement;
- prefer the higher proportion of protein (in the 50:1)
