consider the following food chains:
a. plants --> Mice --> Snake --> Hawks
b. Plants --> Mice --> Hawks
If the energy available at the producer level in both the food chains is 10000 J, in which case will hawks get more energy and by how much? Justify your answer.

Answer:Hey bro

Answer is b

Explanation:

The carnivore has to eat many herbivores to get enough energy to grow. Because of the large amount of energy that is lost at each link, the amount of energy that is transferred decreases each time. The further along the food chain you go, the less food (and hence energy) remains available. So,there is a great loss of energy in long food chains.
