Question

In the park food web, energy flows through trophic levels following the 10% rule. Order the following energy amounts from highest to lowest as energy moves through this food chain.
Question 6 options:

small birds

grasshoppers

grass

hawks

Answer 1

Grass > grasshoppers > small birds > hawks

(Each step up the trophic levels retains only about 10% of the energy from the level below, so energy decreases from producers to top predators.)
