Answer 1

1) According to the ten percent law, 10°/° of the energy of grass will be available as food in mice. Thus ,the energy available to mice is10°/° of 100j which is 10j.

2)The energy available in the snakes is 10°/°of 10j which is 1j.

3)And the energy available in the peacock 10j of 1°/° which is 0.1j.

Grass100j is 10°/° ------------>Mice10j is 10°/°-------->Snakes 1j is °/°----- >peacock 0.1j
