Question

What will be the amount of energy available to the organisms of the 2nd trophic level of a food chain, if the energy available at the first trophic level is 10,000 joules?

Answer 1

We know that : Only 10% of Total Energy is Transferred from One Trophic Level to the Next Trophic Level.

Given : The Energy available at the First Trophic Level is 10000 J

⇒ 10% of 10000 Joules is Transferred to 2nd Trophic Level

⇒ 10% of 10000 Joules $= \bold{(\frac{10}{100} \times 10000) = 1000\;Joules}$

The Amount of Energy Available to the Organisms of the 2nd Trophic Level of the Food Chain is 1000 Joules.

Answer 2

Answer:

1000 J

Explanation:

We know that : Only 10% of Total Energy is Transferred from One Trophic Level to the Next Trophic Level.

Given : The Energy available at the First Trophic Level is 10000 J

⇒ 10% of 10000 Joules is Transferred to 2nd Trophic Level

⇒ 10% of 10000 Joules = \bold{(\frac{10}{100} \times 10000) = 1000\;Joules}=(

100

10

×10000)=1000Joules

The Amount of Energy Available to the Organisms of the 2nd Trophic Level of the Food Chain is 1000 Joules.
