Normally a 10× drop for each trophic level, so I'd say 2,000 kilocal.

Answer:

According to the 10 % law of energy transfer, only 10 % of energy is transferred from lower trophic levels to its higher trophic level. Therefore most of the energy will be present in the produces which comes at a lower trophic level and the least energy will be present in the highest trophic level.

So from primary consumer, only 10 % of energy will be transferred in the second trophic level. Therefore if we want to calculate the energy of the previous trophic level than we have multiply the amount of energy of successive trophic level by 10.

Therefore by multiplying 200*10  we will get the total amount of energy to be 2000 kilocalories. That means that 2000 kilocalories of energy was available at the trophic level of primary consumers.

Why is vinegar used in food preservation?
weqwewe [10]
Vinegar is an extremely acidic liquid. Very few microorganisms (ie bacteria and fungus which cause foods to spoil) can survive in such an acidic environment. Among other effects, it can destroy their cell walls, and prevent their own enzymes working (enzymes are extremely pH sensitive). There are a small number of microorgamisms which are adapted to survive in extreme acidity. However, this adaptation prevents them from surviving in more 'normal' environments. Therefore, anything which can survive in the vinegar, will not likely survive on your kitchen surface, and the same is true the other way around. Therefore, as vitually nothing can colonise whatever is in the vinegar, the food will be very effectively preserved. . . . . . . . . . . you can say........................ . . the low pH a nd high acidity of vinegar destroy bacteria

Fungi are very diverse in their methods of reproduction. How does this help them to be more of an influence on the environment?
Yuki888 [10]
Fungi produce spores that disperse from the parent organism by either floating on the wind or hitching a ride on an animal. Sporangium an important part of fungi are dispersed through a variety of means, such as being carred by wind, latching onto other organisms and even floating in wat

Why are negative feedback loops used to control body homeostasis? <br><br> (Short answer)
liberstina [14]

Answer:

Homeostasis is defined as the state of body in which body maintains several chemical and physical changes inside the body affected by external factors.

Negative feedback loop includes a sensor, stimulus, control center, and effector which is used to control homeostasis.

A negative feedback loop is a reaction that reduce an excessive response and maintain the functions within the normal range. for example: if temperature and blood glucose level increases in the body, negative feedback loops control both the variables and maintain homeostasis.  

Hence, negative feedback loops used to control body homeostasis.
