Question

The producers in the ecosystem produce 25,000,000 kilocalories per year. How much energy is most likely available to the organisms in level 2 of the pyramid

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - 25,00,000 Kcal

Explanation:

The transfer of energy in the trophic level is move with each successive level of the trophic level of the pyramid. Energy transfer takes place in a manner that only 10% of the available energy move to the next level and the rest 90% of energy lost as heat and other processes.

So ith producers produce 25000000 Kcal than only 10 % of this will transfer to the next level or the second level of the pyramid

Producer ---->     primary consumer  ----> secondary consumer

100% energy      10% energy of producer     10% of primary consumer

So, the 10% of 25000000  ----->  2500000
