Question

if you had 10,000 j of energy at the producer level, how much energy would be available to the secondary consumers?
a 100,000 j
b 10,000 j
c 1000 j
d 100 j
e 10 j
question 33
which of the following is not an abiotic component or condition of an ecosystem?
a water
b rock
c archaea

Explanation:

Step1: Energy transfer to primary consumers

Producers → primary consumers: 10% of 10,000 J = $10,000 \times 0.1 = 1,000$ J

Step2: Energy transfer to secondary consumers

Primary consumers → secondary consumers: 10% of 1,000 J = $1,000 \times 0.1 = 100$ J

Step3: Identify abiotic vs biotic components

Abiotic = non-living (water, rock); Archaea = living (biotic)

Answer:

First question: D. 100 J
Second question: C. Archaea
