In a food chain, if 10,000 joules of energy is available to the producer, how much energy will be available to the secondary consumer to transfer it to the tertiary consumer?

Total energy available to producer = 10,000 Joules


Energy transferred to the producer = 1 % of the total energy available to the producer



Energy available to the producer = 100 joules


Energy transferred from producer to primary consumer= 10% of energy available to primary consumer


Energy transferred


Energy transferred from primary consumer to secondary consumer



Energy transferred from secondary consumer to tertiary consumer = 10 % 1 Joule
