assume that 357,250,000 kilocalories are available at the producer level in this chesapeake bay ecosystem. calculate the amount of usable chemical energy available at each level in the pyramid.

***See attached pic***

For this problem, use the 10% Rule. That means that every time you move up a level on the Energy Pyramid only 10% of the energy from the previous level is available at that level. Essentially, just move the decimal place over to the left one time each time you move up a level.

The energy available at the producer level in the ecosystem is 357,250,000 kilocalories. Only 10% of the energy gets transferred to the next level.

So, for first-level consumers,

=357,250,000 x 10/100

= 35,725,000 kcal of energy will be available for the first-level consumers.

For second-level consumers,

= 35,725,000 x 10/100

= 3,572,500 kcal of energy will be available for the second-level consumers.

For tertiary consumers,

=3,572,500 x 10/100

= 357,250 kcal of energy will be available for the third-level consumers.

For quaternary consumers,

= 357,250 x 10/100

= 35,725 kcal of energy will be available for the fourth-level consumers.

Explanation:

answer from Plato

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
