Only about 10 percent of the energy in an organism is passed on to the next level of a food chain. Look at this food chain: grass → rabbit → hawk

What percentage of the energy stored by the grass is passed on to the hawk?

Answer:

grass = 100%; rabbit = 100% x 0.10 = 10%; hawk = 10% x 0.10 = 1%

The hawk would receive 1 percent of the energy that was stored by the grass.

Hope this help you your question!

Answer:

i think its 1%

Step-by-step explanation:

if the grass has 100% energy and only 10% gets passed do that two times and you should have 1% since 1 x 10 is 10
