empty kilojoules is the word given to food staffs or drinks that provide you with energy (joules or Kilojouels) but not any vitamins or minerals whatsoever. Put simply it is a food that you eat that has no real nutritional value other that energy.A good example is carbonated soft drinks, the give you loads of sugar, but no mineral or vitamin in that energy. Foods (and I am using the term loosely) such as chocolate bars and potato crisps - you know the ones they have right at eye level in the supermarket aisles.

How do kilocalories convert into million kilocalories?
To convert kilocalories to million kilocalories, you divide the number of kilocalories by 1,000,000. For example, if you have 5,000,000 kilocalories, you can express this as 5 million kilocalories by dividing by 1,000,000. Essentially, one million kilocalories is equivalent to 1,000,000 kilocalories.

If one million kilocalories of energy are stored in producers in an ecosystem how many kilocalories can be transferred to tertiary consumers in the ecosystem?
In a typical energy transfer within an ecosystem, only about 10% of the energy from one trophic level is passed on to the next. If one million kilocalories are stored in producers, approximately 10% (or 100,000 kilocalories) would be available to primary consumers. From there, about 10% of that energy (10,000 kilocalories) would be transferred to secondary consumers, and finally, about 10% of that (1,000 kilocalories) would be available to tertiary consumers.
