Question

8. The amount of energy the producers in this energy pyramid provide the primary

consumers is 54,000 joules. From this amount, 540 joules are provided to the tertiary
consumers. Based on this model, how much of the energy was provided to secondary
consumers?

Answer 1

Energy provided to secondary consumers = 5,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Primary consumers = 54,000 joules

Tertiary consumers = 540 joules

Find:

Energy provided to secondary consumers

Computation:

10 % energy is transfer to next user

So,

Primary consumers used 54,000 joules

So,

Energy provided to secondary consumers = 54,000 × 10%

Energy provided to secondary consumers = 5,400
