How much energy would be passed from a producer containing 220,000 kilocalories of energy to the primary consumer?
Approximately 10% of energy is passed from one trophic level to the next. Answer - 22,000 kilocalories
By the way. The sample work is graded based off of participation. That you completed all the answers. They don’t really check if you got the answer right or not. Trust me I was the Guinea pig for that theory. It was successful
^^^ Don't hang yourself.
so hard no-one got the answer
As producers are consumed, roughly 10% of the energy at the producer level is passed on to the next level
I love you guys
To calculate the amount of energy passed from a producer to a primary consumer, we need to understand the concept of ecological efficiency. Ecological efficiency refers to the percentage of energy transferred from one trophic level to the next. Generally, this transfer of energy is estimated to be around 10%.
In this case, the producer contains 220,000 kilocalories (kcal) of energy. So, to find the amount of energy passed to the primary consumer, we need to multiply this value by the ecological efficiency of 10%.
220,000 kcal * 0.1 = 22,000 kcal
Therefore, the primary consumer would receive approximately 22,000 kilocalories of energy from the producer.
