The 10% rule means that approximately there will be only 10% energy transferred from a trophic level into another. That was because the consumer on the upper level will use the energy before it was consumed. About 90% of the energy used so only 10% remain will be transferred.
Example: an antler eating grass with a total 100 calories. Then the antler is moving and growing, using 90 calories. Then a lion eats the antler, but the energy remains is only 10 calorie because 90 calories are already used.

Nuclear power plants produce non-radioactive waste
Calcium citrate malate contains the calcium salt of citric acid and malic acid
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula of the reaction:
KClO₂ → KCl + O₂
To assign oxidation numbers, we have to obey some rules:
- Elements in an uncombined state or one whose atoms combine with one another to form molecules have an oxidation number of zero.
- The charge on simple ions signifies their oxidation number.
- The algebraic sum of all the oxidation number of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero. For radicals with charges, their oxidation number is the charge.
The oxidation number of K in KClO₂:
K + (-1) + 2(-2) = 0
K-5 = 0
K = +5
The oxidation number of K in KCl:
K + (-1) = 0
K = +1
The oxidation number Cl in KClO₂ is -1
For Cl in KCl, the oxidation number is -1
For O in KClO₂, the oxidation number is (2 x -2) = -4
For O in O₂, the oxidation number is 0
K moves from an oxidation state of +5 to +1. This is a gain of electrons and K has undergone reduction. We then say K is reduced.
O moves from an oxidation state of -4 to 0. This is a loss of electrons and O has undergone oxidation. We say O is oxidized.
The metal conducts the heat and through conduction, cooks the brownies; conduction also cooks the brownies in the glass pan, but since infrared goes right through the glass, they also cook by radiation.
