Use the following formula to find the efficiency of energy transfer between the harbor seal (2,500 Kcal) and a polar bear (375 Kcal).

To find the efficiency of energy transfer between the harbor seal and the polar bear, you need to divide the energy transferred to the next level (375 Kcal) by the total energy input (2,500 Kcal) and then multiply by 100.
Efficiency = (Energy transferred to next level / Total energy input) × 100
Efficiency = (375 Kcal / 2,500 Kcal) × 100
Efficiency = 0.15 × 100
Efficiency = 15%
Therefore, the efficiency of energy transfer between the harbor seal and the polar bear is 15%.
