Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!

Answer 1

1) The answer is 56,000 Cal. Energy from the sun is taken by photoautotrophs (green plants) through the process of photosynthesis. Some of this energy is then taken by consumers when they feed on plants, with only 10% of the energy taken by the primary consumers, then when the secondary consumers feed on the primary consumers they also take 10% of the energy, and the process continues. The rest of energy is lost inform of heat energy. Therefore; the energy recieved by ocelot (tertiary consumers) is 10% of  the energy from the macaw (secondary consumer). hence
(5600/10)×100= 56000 Cal

2) The answer is  Less than 5600 Cal
When the number of Macaw (secondary consumers) decreases the number of tertiary consumers also decreases since they depend on the secondary consumers  for energy. Thus the energy obtained from the remaining macaw will be lower.
