CALCULATE: Imagine you have a five-step food chain. If 100 percent of the energy is available at the first trophic level, what percentage of energy is available at the highest trophic level? (SHOW WORK) Using your calculated numbers, explain why there is less BIOMASS at the top of the food chain.

Answer 1

About only ten precent of energy is carried from each step in the food chain so the initial 100 percent then 10 precent then one precent the 0.1 precent then 0.01 then finally 0.001 there is less biomass at the top of the food chain because they have less energy then at the bottom of the food chain
