2 A food chain consists of 6 trophic levels. The second trophic level contains 68 450 kilocalories of energy. How much kilocalories would be left at the decomposer level



Answer :

Answer:

6.845

Explanation:

Typically only 10% of energy is transferred from the tropic level to the next, with the rest being used for metabolism, growth and lost of heat.

2nd tropic level: 68,450.

Food chain has 6 tropic level s.

let's calculate the energy at the third to sixth level.

Third: 10% ×6,8450

= 0.1 × 68450

= 6,845

Fourth: 0.1 × 6,845

= 684.5

Fifth : 0.1 × 684.5

=68.45

Sixth: 0.1 × 68.45

= 6.845
