Question
The amount of energy available for 2nd level consumers = 10,000 kcal so the level with 100,000 kcal will be for ..................
Solution
The level with 100,000 kcal will be for the 1st level consumers or producers. This is based on the 10% rule in the energy pyramid in an ecosystem, which states that only 10% of the energy from one trophic level is transferred to the next level. So, if the 2nd level consumers have 10,000 kcal, that means the 1st level consumers or producers (from which the 2nd level consumers get their energy) must have had 10 times that amount, or 100,000 kcal.
