Answer:
It will be less than 1800kj. Because the insects use some of the energy to reproduce as well as for respiration. Moreover when the snake eat the insects not 100 % of the insects are digested so they don't get the full energy.

Answer:
According to 10% law, in a food chain, only 10% of the total energy is transferred to the next tropic level.
As snakes are in next higher trophic level than from 800kJ only 80kJ is transferred to frog.
