Question

1. if the sun gives the primary producer 100,000 j of energy, how many j of energy will the primary consumer get? *0/6

10,000
1,000
100
10

Explanation:

Step1: Recall energy - transfer rule

In an ecosystem, only about 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next.

Step2: Calculate energy for primary consumer

The primary producer has 100,000 J of energy. The primary consumer will get 10% of this energy. So, $100000\times0.1 = 10000$ J.

Answer:

A. 10,000
