Question
Consider the following food chain: hawk - rabbit - clover. Each species will contain a different amount of calories in its body (clover: 10 calories, rabbit: 500 and hawk: 1200). Each species has a different daily caloric requirement (clover: sunlight, rabbit: 100 calories, hawk: 300).
How many clover plants, per day, does it take to support one hawk?
approximately 600 clover plants
approximately 30 clover plants
approximately 60 clover plants
approximately 3 clover plants
None, clover plants do not support hawks.
I found this---- but not sure if it relates to Hawk needs 300 calories from eating rabbits, so needs 3,000 rabbit calories available since only 10% moves up the food chain. 3,000 rabbit calories (where food energy is 500 calories per rabbit) means you need 6 rabbits to feed the hawk.
