As the levels progress upward in a pyramid form, only 10% of the energy level below can be transfered as energy to the next level. Using the lowest level as having 100%, the next level only has 10% of that 100% to use for energy. The third level will have 10% of 10% of that 100% to use for energy. Because there is only so much at each level to use, the number of animals and plants become smaller. At most there will be 3 levels. A very few will reach 4 levels.

What is the 10 percent rule in the energy pyramid?
This rule means that only 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. By consuming Primary producers one will have the most energy.
How does the amount of biomass at the fourth trophic level compare to the amount of biomass at the third trophic level immediately below it?
Biomass at the fourth trophic level is approximately ten times smaller than biomass at the third trophic level.
What is the 5 percent rule to find if the y-intercept is significant?
If the Y-Intercept is less than five percent of the largest Y value, then the Y-Intercept can be made zero.
How do the base pairing rule relate to chargaffs rules?
Chargaff's rule means that there should be the same number of purine and pyrimidine bases in DNA. The base pairing rules means that A always pairs with T, and G always pairs with C ie. a purine always pairs with a pyrimidine, so there must be the same number of both proving Chargaff's rule.
How does the 10 percent rule apply to the food chain?
in a food chain, energy transfers from one level to another. The 10% rule says that 10% of energy is transfered from one level to another because the rest of the energy is being used by the organism.
What is the 10 percent rule in the energy pyramid?

What is erected in Egypt Is it the Great Pyramid?
The Great Pyramid, built under the rule of Pharaoh Khufu, is located in modern Cairo.
Can you use this less than 5 percent rule for all normal probability distributions?
The answer depends on what "this less than 5 percent rule" is, in contrast to some other 5 percent rule!
How big is the bent pyramid?
The height of the Bent Pyramid is 332 feet and its base is 619 feet. This pyramid was built under the rule of Pharaoh Sneferu around 2600 BC.
What are the three ecological pyramids of environmental studies. Explain their types?
Energy Pyramids show how much energy is present at each level. It is a diagram that shows the relative amounts of energy within each trophic level in a food chain or web. Biomass Pyramids represents the amount of biomass within each trophic level. Numbers Pyramids show how many organisms there are at each tropic level. Energy pyramids are probably the most useful of the three!
What happens to the other 90 percent in the 10 percent rule?
in the ten percent rule the other 90% gets stuck in the trophic level while the other 10% moves on to the other levels.
What was the Khufu contribution to Egyptian culture during his rule?
he built the tallest pyramid in the world at his point in time
What kingdom did Khufu rule?
He ruled the Old Kingdom! He was famous for building the very first Egyptian pyramid!
How does the amount of biomass at the fourth trophic level compare to the amount of biomass at the third trophic level immediately below it?
Biomass at the fourth trophic level is approximately ten times smaller than biomass at the third trophic level.
How does impunity relate to rule of law?
The rule of law requires that the rulers be subject to the same laws as the subjects. "Impunity" is immunity from the sanctions of law: allowing the rulers to act with impunity defies the rule of law.
