Question

the 10% rule states that only 10% of the energy found at each level is transferred to the next level. if the producers have 1000 joules of energy, how much energy is transferred to the next level?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate energy transfer

According to the 10% rule, energy transferred = 10% of producers' energy.
$$1000\times10\%=1000\times\frac{10}{100}=100$$ (Joules)

Answer:
