Question

select the correct label on the image. an ecological pyramid shows the transfer of energy. which level will contain only 0.1% of the total energy obtained from the sun? 5 kcal hawk 50 kcal snakes 500 kcal mice (rats) 5000 kcal plants biomass (energy) pyramid

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the percentage of energy for each level

• For plants: $\frac{5000}{5000}\times100\% = 100\%$ (assuming plants get 100% of the energy they capture from the Sun as a base).
• For mice (rats): $\frac{500}{5000}\times100\%=10\%$
• For snakes: $\frac{50}{5000}\times 100\% = 1\%$
• For hawk: $\frac{5}{5000}\times100\%=0.1\%$

Answer:

Hawk (5 kcal)
