Answer:

Only about 1%

Explanation:

According to the given condition, the earth is comprised of nearly 75% of water and only 25% of land.

Out of this total amount of water on earth, the water in the oceans and seas makes up 97% of it that are saline and not good for drinking purpose. The remaining 3% of water includes the fresh water such as the glaciers and ice caps on earth, groundwater and others.

Out of this total fresh water, only about 1% of water is available for drinking, which covers significantly very less amount of water on the entire earth.

Well, seeing as it says "Most of this water" you could estimate less than 1.5%

In a food chain 200 kg of wheat is fed on by 18 kg of mice which in turn are eaten by 1kg of hawk. What is the percentage energy
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

0.1% of energy

Explanation:

Energy flow: From the whole quantity of energy that reaches the earth's surface, autotroph organisms or producers absorb only 0.1 or 1%.

From the input of solar energy begins a unidirectional energy flow through all the organisms in the ecosystem, from autotrophs to heterotrophs, until it is dissipated in the environment.  

At each trophic level occurs an energy transfer to the next, with only 10% being usable in each of them. This assessment is called "The 10% rule". As a general rule, only about 10% of the energy stored as biomass at one trophic level, per unit time, ends up as biomass at the next trophic level, in the same unit of time.

If wheat transferred 10% of the energy to mice, and of that 10% mice transferred 10% of the energy to hawk, then the percentage of energy transferred from the first trophic level to the third equals 0.1%.

10% (1st TL-2nd TL) / 10% (2nd TL - 3rd TL) = 0.1% (1stTL - 3rd TL)

<em>TL = Trophic level           </em>
