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.

postnew [5]

The rose population would decrease because the bees would need more food. Since the skunk has more food, it would increase and the eagle population would probably increase too because of more access to skunks. The eagle interpretation may be true unless the eagle is perceived as a scavenger. Then the population would most likely stay the same. The sun would stay the same because it is an abiotic factor in an ecosystem. your welcome fam

lys-0071 [83]

Answer: Strict Liability Torts

Explanation:

In the tort law, strict liability is the imposition of the liabilities on the party without even finding a single fault.

The claimant only needs to prove that the tort occurred is done by the defendant and he is only responsible for the faults.

It is considered to be very dangerous as there is no need of prove to show the defendant has done a fault.
