If the sun provided 5 million joules of energy to the phytoplankton, estimate how much energy the small fish would be able to provide to larger fish that might consume them.
A. 5000J
B. 50000J
C. 500J
D. 50J
参考答案: A
本题详细解析:
Pyramids of energy folljhpk od *,e3g*ow the rule of 10% due to the second law of thermodynamics. This means that only 10% of the energy from a trophic level is available to the next level as 90% is used for things like respiration and movement. As a result, if gh3 *jop,* ekdthe sun provided 5000000J, according to the 10% rule:
5,000,000J → 500,000J (phytoplankton) → 50,000J (zooplankton) → 5000J (small fish)
Option A is correct.
