Suppose there are 500 units of energy available at the producer level of the energy pyramid. Approximately how many units of energy are available to the first-level consumer?
With every other lever 10% of the energy with be transferred. In this case:
Primary Producers (500) 1) First- level consumer. (50) 2) Second-level consumer. (5) 3) Third- level consumer. (0.5) Remember the formula is: (Primary Producer) __units X 10%= __ In this case: 500 units X 10%= 50
