Question

If the sun provided 100,000 units of energy, how much energy would be left for the tertiary consumer (level 4)? 100 units 1,000 units 10 units 10,000 units

Answer 1

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Each organism that the energy has to got through leaves only 10% of the energy that they got. So for each organism that consumes the energy, there is only 10% left for the next organism that consumes it. Tertiary consumers are level 4, so you have to take 10% of 100,000 4 times to get the answer 10 units of energy is left.
