Question

the 10% rule states that only 10% of the available energy is passed on to the next trophic level. if the producers have 10,000 kcal of energy available, how much is passed on to the herbivores? 100 kcal 10,000 kcal 1000 kcal

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the 10% Rule

The 10% Rule means we take 10% of the producer's energy for herbivores.

Step2: Calculate 10% of 10,000 kcal

To find 10% of a number, we multiply the number by 0.1 (since 10% = 0.1). So, $10,000 \times 0.1 = 1000$ kcal.

Answer:

1000 kcal (corresponding to the option with "1000 kcal")
