Question

in a food chain,if 10,000 joules of energy is available to the producer,how much energy will be available to the secondary consumer to transfer it to the tertiary consumer?

Answer 1

According to conditions, we can see that only 10% energy is transferred to the next or successive trophic level and 90% of energy is being used, if we apply 10% law to the producer, we will get the energy that is available to the secondary consumer. Therefore when we apply 10% law to producer, we get:-

10% of 10,000 joules is 1000 Joules of energy will be available to the secondary consumer.

I hope it helped.

--According to the 10 percent law, only 10% of the energy is transferred to each trophic level from its lower trophic level.

If 10,000 joules of energy is available to the producer, then only 1000 joules ( 10000 ×10/100 = 1000) of energy will be available to the primary consumer and only 100 joules (1000×10/100= 100) of energy will be available to the secondary consumer. The energy available with the tertiary consumer will be 10 joules(100×10/100= 10) of energy.
