Question

Figure 1 shows energy flow in a forest ecosystem food web. ​ The table shows that 100 g of caterpillars contains 430 k cal. ​ Enter a value in each blank cell to estimate the energy from the caterpillar available to the starling and the owl. (3 points) Put responses in the correct input to answer the question. Select a response, navigate to the desired input and insert the response. Responses can be selected and inserted using the space bar, enter key, left mouse button or touchpad. Responses can also be moved by dragging with a mouse. The caterpillar has 430 k/cal of energy. You know the energy decreases by Response area, as we go up the energy pyramid. This means that the amount of energy available to the starling would be Response area and the amount of energy available to the owl would be

Answer 1

Fill in the blanks in order

Answer 2

The first one is wrong. The options to fill in the blank are 10%, 43 kcal/100 g, and 4.3 kcal/100 g

Answer 3

In a typical energy pyramid, approximately 10% of the energy from one trophic level is transferred to the next level, while the rest is lost due to metabolic processes and heat.

Given that the caterpillars contain 430 k cal of energy:

1. **To find the energy available to the starling (next level up)**:
- 10% of 430 k cal = 0.10 × 430 = 43 k cal

2. **To find the energy available to the owl (next level up from the starling)**:
- 10% of 43 k cal = 0.10 × 43 = 4.3 k cal

So, the responses to fill in the blanks would be:

- The amount of energy available to the starling would be **43 k cal**.
- The amount of energy available to the owl would be **4.3 k cal**.

Answer 4

Certainly! Here’s how you can fill in the blanks in order:

1. The energy decreases by **90%**, as we go up the energy pyramid.
2. The amount of energy available to the starling would be **43 k cal**.
3. The amount of energy available to the owl would be **4.3 k cal**.

So, the completed statement would be:

- The energy decreases by **90%**, as we go up the energy pyramid. This means that the amount of energy available to the starling would be **43 k cal** and the amount of energy available to the owl would be **4.3 k cal**.

Answer 5

Thank you for the clarification! Based on the options you've provided, here's the correct way to fill in the blanks:

1. The energy decreases by **10%**, as we go up the energy pyramid.
2. The amount of energy available to the starling would be **43 kcal/100 g**.
3. The amount of energy available to the owl would be **4.3 kcal/100 g**.

So the completed statement is:

- The energy decreases by **10%**, as we go up the energy pyramid. This means that the amount of energy available to the starling would be **43 kcal/100 g** and the amount of energy available to the owl would be **4.3 kcal/100 g**.
