According to the diagram above, an area of the ocean has ___ producers. These producers are surface dwelling ___ that make their own food through ___ . How can 5000 ___ only support half a tuna? Energy gets used up at each level and only ___ is able to move to the next level as it is used to maintain life or given off as heat waste.
WB: 5000, cellular respiration, consumers, photosynthesis, 50%, autotrophs, 10%, butterscotch, producers
thats... that's not how that works :/
that's the link that'll only work on your computer, but not on ours...
No diagram. Cannot copy and paste here.

if you need the diagram
According to the diagram above, an area of the ocean has 5000 producers. These producers are surface-dwelling autotrophs that make their own food through photosynthesis. Now, let's talk about this half-tuna situation. How can 5000 butterscotch only support half a tuna? Well, it seems like there's been a bit of a mix-up here. Unless there's a secret butterscotch-loving tuna population we don't know about, I'm afraid we might need to revisit those numbers. As for the energy flow through the food chain, you're absolutely right. Energy gets used up at each level, with only around 10% being able to move to the next level. Looks like nature's way of saying, "Sorry, I can't share all the snacks with you!"
To determine the missing words in the provided statement, let's break it down into parts.
1. According to the diagram above, an area of the ocean has ___ producers.
To find the missing word, you would need to refer to the diagram mentioned. The diagram should indicate the number or type of producers in that particular area of the ocean.
2. These producers are surface dwelling ___ that make their own food through ___.
To complete this sentence, you need to identify the specific type of producers and the process they use to obtain food. The missing words should be present in the diagram or the information provided alongside it.
3. How can 5000 ___ only support half a tuna?
To identify the missing word here, you should understand the concept of energy transfer in an ecosystem. The missing word should represent a group of organisms that consume producers (from the previous statement) and ultimately transfer the energy to the next trophic level.
4. Energy gets used up at each level, and only ___ is able to move to the next level as it is used to maintain life or given off as heat waste.
To complete this sentence, you need to determine the percentage or proportion of energy that actually moves from one trophic level to the next. This is usually a fraction or percentage that describes the energy transfer efficiency.
Based on the information provided, it seems there is insufficient context or data to fill in the missing words.
