Describe the flow of energy to a third level consumer if the the producers provide 1500 calories of energy to the first level consumers?
In an ecosystem, energy flows from producers to consumers through trophic levels. If producers provide 1500 calories of energy to first-level consumers (herbivores), these consumers typically convert only about 10% of that energy into biomass, passing approximately 150 calories to the second-level consumers (carnivores). Following the same efficiency, the second-level consumers would then pass about 15 calories to the third-level consumers, which are the apex predators. Thus, the third-level consumers receive a significantly reduced amount of energy due to the energy loss at each trophic level.
