Question

1. grass has 10,000 calories. how many calories would the raccoon receive? grass → grasshopper → raccoon → coyote

Explanation:

Step1: Energy transfer rule

In a food chain, only about 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next.

Step2: Calculate energy at each level

Grass has 10,000 calories. Grasshopper (next level) gets \(10000\times0.1 = 1000\) calories. Raccoon (next level) gets \(1000\times0.1=100\) calories.

Answer:

100
