Question

what approximate percent of the energy found in primary consumers is passed on to secondary consumers? a. 50% b. 100% c. 10% d. 90%

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, the 10 - percent rule states that only about 10% of the energy from one trophic level is passed on to the next trophic level. Primary consumers are one trophic level above producers and secondary consumers are one level above primary consumers. So, the amount of energy passed from primary consumers to secondary consumers is approximately 10%.

Answer:

C. 10%
