Question

energy can be measured in calories. 1,000 calories is called a kilocalorie (kcal). if the producers have 10,000 kcal of energy and 10% is transferred to the primary consumers, how much energy is transferred?
100 kcal
1,000 kcal
10 kcal

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

We use the formula: Transferred - energy=Total - energy×Transfer - percentage.

Step2: Substitute values

Total energy of producers is 10000 kcal and transfer percentage is 10% or 0.1. So, transferred energy = 10000×0.1.

Step3: Calculate

10000×0.1 = 1000 kcal.

Answer:

B. 1,000 kcal
