Consider the pyramid of energy of an ecosystem given below: If T₄ is equivalent to 1000 J , what is the value at T₁ ?
Options
- A10000 10 ~J
- B10000 10 4 ~J
- C10,000 ~J
- D10,00,000 ~J
Correct answer
D. 10,00,000 ~J
Step-by-step solution
According to the given pyramid of energy, if T ₄ is equivalent to 1000 J , then according to the 10 percent law, which states that only 10 percent of energy is transferred to each trophic level from the lower trophic level, the value at T ₁ is 10,00,000 ~J . aligned & T₁=10,00,000 ~J & T₂= 10 100 10,00,000=1,00,000 ~J & T₃= 10 100 100000=10,000 ~J & T₄= 10 100 10000=1000 ~J aligned
