Answer:

10 units

Explanation:

Energy is transferred from organism to organism in an ecosystem when they feed on one another. However, based on the pyramid of energy, only about 10% of energy is transferred from one organism to another because a bulk of energy (about 90%) has been lost to metabolic activities.

Energy moves from producers to consumers, each occupying trophic levels. If the first trophic level in an energy pyramid receives 1,000 units of energy from the sun,

- 10% of 1000units will be available for the second trophic level i.e. 10/100 × 1000 = 100units

- 10% of 100units will be available for the third trophic level i.e. 10/100 × 100 = 10units

Hence, 10units of energy is available for the third trophic level.

Please help me!<br> Why is it important to help are biodiversity?<br> explain.
Mila [183]

Biodiversity boost the eco-system which essentially is the same reason we have plants without biodiversity we wouldn't have plants or trees. Therefore we wouldn't have oxygen so the more we kill the Eco-system the more our planet and life becomes more and more threatened therefore the more food supply and demand becomes less and less. Which basically leads to extinction. So biodiversity is also helpful for biodegradable products like plastic instead of foam. Essentially recycling basically saves our planet.
