What percent of energy is available for consumers at trophic level?
Wiki User

1% because if 10% moves on to each level, and 10% was passed on to the first level consumers, 10% divided by 10% equals 0.01 which is equivalent to 1%, so 1% of the original energy used by plants is passed on to second level consumers. :)

Which trophic level receives the least amount of available energy Tertiary consumers Secondary consumers Primary consumers Producers?
tertiary consumers
What percent of the energy available within on trophic level is transferred to organisms at the next trophic level when they are eaten?
1%
Which tropic level in a community has the most energy available?
The trophic level of producers (photosynthetic organisms) has the most available energy in a biologic community. As a general (but not absolute) rule, every trophic level above this has 10% as much available energy as the level below it; primary consumers have 10% as much as producers, secondary consumers 1%, tertiary consumers .1%.
Is about 50 percent of the energy available within one trophic level transferred to the next trophic level?
No. About TEN (10) percent of the energy available within one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level the rest of it is used to grow and develop, except in plants because plants use 100% or close to 100% of the sun's energy to grow and develop.
Which of the 3 consumers rat or snake or hawk will have more energy percent be available?
The hawk will have more energy percent available.
If producers in an energy pyramid produce ten million calories of energy how much calories of energy would be available at the fourth trophic level?
Becuase of the interpretation of the condence evaluation of the trophic leve leveld out by the consumers
True or false on average about 50 percent of the energy available within on trophic level is transferred to the next trophic livel?
No. About TEN (10) percent of the energy available within one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level the rest of it is used to grow and develop, except in plants because plants use 100% or close to 100% of the sun's energy to grow and develop.
If 100 percent of the energy is available at the trophis level what percentage of the total energy is available at the highest trophic level?
primary producerIf I'm correct it's approximately 0.1 percent ( 0.001)
What energy is available each step up the pyramid?
Ten percent of the energy in each trophic level makes it to the next level.
Which trophic level contains the most available food energy?
On an ecological pyramid or in a food chain, typically, the highest trophic levels have the least amount of energy from the sun available for the next highest level. In a typical food chain, this would be the tertiary consumer level.
Explain why only 10 percent of the engery available at one trophic level is transferred to the next higher trophic level?
between each tier of the energy pyramid, energy is lost as heat
What are the trophic. Levels?
1- Producers- make their own food (plants, photosynthetic bacteria, etc.) 2- Primary Consumers- eat the producers, small (rodents, bugs, etc.) 3- Secondary Consumers- eat the primary consumers (ex: snakes) 4- Tertiary Consumers- eat the secondary consumers, larger, (ex: owls, humans) There are not many trophic levels because only 10% of the energy available at one trophic level is passed on to the next level, and so the amount of energy available after many levels is not able to support many organisms.
