Question

Which organism shown will get most of the available energy that is in the seeds?

Group of answer choices


A the mouse


B they will all get the same amount of energy from the seeds


C the snake


D the hawk

Answer 1

Mouse

Step-by-step explanation:

If you follow the Rule of 10%, the mouse gains the most energy from the seeds. The snake and the hawk only get 10% of that energy the mouse has consumes.

For example, follow the rule of 10% pyramid.

Producers: 1,000,000 kcal (energy)

Primary Consumers: 100,000 kcal

Secondary Consumers: 10,000 kcal

Tertiary Consumers: 1,000 kcal

In this sense, the seeds are the producers, the mouse is the primary consumer, the snake is the secondary consumer, and the hawk is the tertiary consumer.
