The expenditure of energy is essentially a process of budgeting, just asfinances are budgeted. If all of one's money is spent on clothes, there may benone left to buy food or go to the movies. Similarly, a plant or animal cannotsquander all its energy on growing a big body if none would be left over forreproduction, for this is the surest way to extinction.
The word squander in the passage is closest inmeaning to:
a. extendb. transformc. activated. waste
