In an experiment carried out to study the energy flow through an ecosystem scientists measure the total solar energy captured by plants to be 10,000 kilocalories.The portion of this available to the third trophic level will be

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the plants will use all of the energy except approximately 10% the amount of energy available to the next level will be 1000 kilocalories or 10000 x 0.1. The organisms at the second trophic level will use all but approximately 10% of this energy meaning that the third level will have access to 100 kilocalories, or 1000 x 0.1.Bloom's
