Question

In the following food chain, 20,000 J of energy was available to the plants. How much energy would be available to man in this chain?
Plants → Sheep → Man
PLS GIVE ELABORATE EXPLANATIONS ALONGWITH CALCULATIONS.

Answer 1

energy available for sheep=10/100*20000=2000J

Energy for man=10/100*2000=200J

Answer 2

2J is your answer.

This is because 1% energy will be absorbed by plants. This makes 200J for Plants.

Then 10% of 200 is 20J which is available to sheep.

Finally, 10% of 20 is 2J...

So Man will get 2J energy.
