Question

1 A food chain in a terrestrial ecosystem is given below
Grass → Grasshopper → Frog → Snake →
Eagle
The energy available at level of grass is 596 units Calculate the
energy available for grasshopper, frog, snake and eagle Also, find
the total energy dissipated

Subrahmanian Namboodiri.k · Accepted Answer

first, you should understand the fact that it is based on
10% (energy) Rule
that is only 10% energy is available for an organism in the next
level of ecosystem
grass(596)
grasshopper(59 6)
frog(5 96)
snake(0 596)
eagle(0 0596)

now you can calculate the energy dissipated

1. A food chain in a terrestrial ecosystem is given below. Grass → Grasshopper → Frog → Snake → Eagle The energy available at level of grass is 596 units. Calculate the energy available for grasshopper, frog, snake and eagle. Also, find the total energy dissipated.

1. A food chain in a terrestrial ecosystem is given below.
Grass $\to$ Grasshopper $\to$ Frog $\to$ Snake $\to$ Eagle
The energy available at level of grass is 596 units. Calculate the energy available for grasshopper, frog, snake and eagle. Also, find the total energy dissipated.
