Question

The leaves receive 560,000 kJ of energy from the Sun. Approximately how much energy is lost in the trophic levels between the leaves and the owl?

A. 
560 kJ

B. 
5,600 kJ

C. 
55,944 kJ

D. 
559,440 kJ

GPT-5 mini · Answer

D. 559,440 kJ

Explanation: About 10% of energy is transferred at each trophic level. If leaves (producers) have 560,000 kJ and energy passes through three transfers to reach the owl, the owl gets 560,000 × 0.1^3 = 560 kJ. Energy lost = 560,000 − 560 = 559,440 kJ.

The leaves receive 560,000 kJ of energy from the Sun. Approximately how much energy is lost in the trophic levels between the leaves and the owl?

A.
560 kJ

B.
5,600 kJ

C.
55,944 kJ

D.
559,440 kJ
