Question

when a coyote eats a mouse, approximately how much of the mouses energy is converted into coyote tissue? 10% 1% 5% 50% 90%

Explanation:

According to the 10% rule in ecology, when one organism (like a coyote) consumes another (like a mouse), approximately 10% of the energy from the consumed organism (mouse) is converted into the tissue of the consumer (coyote). The rest of the energy is lost as heat during metabolic processes (such as respiration), used for the organism's own life - sustaining activities (like movement, digestion), or excreted.

Answer:

10%
