From the total energy that reaches the ground, 1% is used by producers. The energy transference in the trophic web follows the 10% rule, in which each level uses 10% of the energy stored by the anterior level.

---------------------------------------

  • Only 1% of the total solar energy that reaches the ground is used by producers, who occupy the first trophic level.

  • From this input of solar energy, it begins a unidirectional energy flow through all the organisms in the ecosystem, from autotrophs to heterotrophs, until it is finally dissipated in the environment.  

  • At each trophic level, it occurs an energy transfer from one level to the next, with only 10% being usable in each of them. This assessment is called "The 10% rule".

  • This is, as a general rule, only about 10% of the energy stored as biomass at one trophic level, per unit time, ends up as biomass at the next trophic level, in the same unit of time.

  • The progressive reduction of energy determines the number of trophic levels (4 or 5).  

If <u>30,000,000 MJ</u> of Sunlight (solar energy) reaches ground, then only <u>30,000 MJ</u> can be absorbed by primary producers.

<u>5,216.4 MJ</u> from 52,164 MJ of energy stored in the <u>soybeans</u>, are used by cattle.

 

1,645 MJ of energy is stored in edible beef by cattle who eat the soybeans.

<u>164.5 MJ </u>of this energy is tranferred to the following trophic level.

What happens when a keystone species is removed from an ecosystem
Marizza181 [45]
How would removing your umbrella in a rainstorm affect your ability to stay dry? The definition of a keystone species is a species that has a crucial role in an ecosystem. Removing one gear from a clock would stop the clock from working. Removing/changing a major contributer to a balance and natural ecosystem can potentially collapse the entire system altogether.

How do I convert 7.80 into scientific notation?<br>​
statuscvo [17]

To convert to scientific notation, start by moving the decimal place in the number until you have a coefficient between 1 and 10; here it is 3.45. The number of places to the left that you had to move the decimal point is the exponent. Here, we had to move the decimal 4 places to the right, so the exponent is -4.
