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 receive the least amount of available energy because energy is lost as it moves up the food chain. Each trophic level only retains about 10% of the energy from the level below it.


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?

Only about 10% of the energy is transferred between trophic levels, so if 100% is available at the lowest trophic level, then only about 10% of the original energy is available at the highest trophic level.


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%.


Which of the 3 consumers rat or snake or hawk will have more energy percent be available?

The hawk will typically have more available energy because it sits at the top of the food chain and consumes the rat and snake, which are lower on the food chain. As energy is lost through each trophic level, the top predator tends to have the most energy available to them.


How much energy is available to the first second and third level consumers in the energy pyramid?

Energy available decreases as you move up the energy pyramid due to the loss of energy through metabolic processes and heat loss. Generally, around 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. Therefore, third-level consumers have the least energy available compared to first-level consumers.


What is trophic energy pyramid?

A trophic energy pyramid is a representation of the flow of energy through an ecosystem, showing how energy is transferred from one trophic level to another. It typically consists of producers at the base, followed by primary consumers, secondary consumers, and so on. Energy is lost as heat at each level, so the pyramid narrows towards the top to reflect the decreasing energy available at higher trophic levels.


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.


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.


Complete the energy pyramid?

Energy pyramid represents the flow of energy through different trophic levels in an ecosystem. It typically consists of producers at the base, followed by primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers at the top. The energy pyramid demonstrates the decreasing energy available at each trophic level due to energy loss through metabolism and heat loss.


There is less energy available to consumers at higher levels in a food why?

At each trophic level in a food chain, energy is lost as heat through metabolic processes like respiration, movement, and growth. This leads to less energy being available to consumers at higher levels in the food chain because a significant portion of the original energy input has already been used up by the lower trophic levels.
