Question

there are 10,000 joules of energy stored in the producers of a specific ecosystems approximately how many joules of energy would be stored at the secondary consumers trophic level

Answer 1

100 joules

Step-by-step explanation:

If the producer has 10,000 joules of energy stored in it, then 10% of it will be transferred to the primary consumer i.e. 1000 joules. So 1000 joules of energy will be stored in the primary consumer. From this, 10% of the energy is given to the secondary consumer i.e. 100 joules. So 100 joules of energy will be stored in the secondary consumer. From this 10% will be transferred to the next trophic level and this goes on.......
