Question

3. If all the producers in the above food web contain 40,000 Kcal of energy, how much

energy will eventually be transferred to the Tertiary Consumer.
a. 30,000?
b.) 25,000?

Answer 1

The answer is only about 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever something is consumed, only about 10% of the energy is consumed. So when a primary consumer eats the producer, they will get about 4,000 kcal. Then the secondary consumer will get about 400. Finally, the tertiary consumer will only get about 40. Basically, just multiple the original number by 0.1 for every time it goes through consumption.
