Question

use the diagram below to answer the question.
how much energy do the primary consumers get from the producers if the producers have 785,000 j?
78500
785
7850
785000

Explanation:

Step1: Energy transfer rule

In an energy pyramid, about 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. Producers are at the bottom, and primary consumers (like the mouse here) are the next level.

Step2: Calculate energy for primary consumers

If producers have \( E = 785000\space J\), energy for primary consumers \(E_{pc}\) is \(E_{pc}=0.1\times E\)

$$E_{pc}=0.1\times785000 = 78500\space J$$

Answer:

78500
