Question

g About how much of the energy in the producers of an ecosystem will be available to secondary consumers in this ecosystem

Answer 1

10 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

Only 10 % of energy in the producers of an ecosystem will be available to secondary consumers of that ecosystem while the remaining 90 % will be lost and releases in the atmosphere in the form of heat energy. In each trophic level, only 10 % of the total biomass is transferred from one trophic level to another trophic level while the remaining biomass is released in the form of heat. If the producers has 1000 calories of energy, only 100 calories will be transferred to the primary consumer.
