Question

directions: using the food chain you created, fill in the energy pyramid below. use the following terms to on the lines outside the pyramid: 100%, 10%, 1%, 0.1%, 0.01%. producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, tertiary consumer. percent of energy available name of trophic level

Explanation:

Step1: Recall energy - transfer rule

In an energy pyramid, only about 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. Producers have the most energy.

Step2: Identify trophic - level energy percentages

The producer level has 100% of the available energy. The primary consumer (herbivore) gets about 10% of the producer's energy. The secondary consumer (carnivore that eats herbivores) gets about 1% of the producer's energy. The tertiary consumer (carnivore that eats other carnivores) gets about 0.1% of the producer's energy.

Step3: Fill in the pyramid

Starting from the bottom (producer) to the top (tertiary consumer), we fill in the pyramid as follows: Producer: 100%, Primary Consumer: 10%, Secondary Consumer: 1%, Tertiary Consumer: 0.1%.

Answer:

Producer: 100%, Primary Consumer: 10%, Secondary Consumer: 1%, Tertiary Consumer: 0.1%
