The appropriate amount of energy available for the sparrows and robins can be calculated by finding the energy transfer efficiency at each trophic level.
Since the energy transfer efficiency between trophic levels is typically around 10%, we can calculate the energy available for the sparrows and robins as follows:
Energy available for caterpillars = 110,000 kJ
Energy available for sparrows and robins = 110,000 kJ * 0.1 = 11,000 kJ
If we express this answer in scientific notation with 2 significant digits, it would be 1.1 x 10^4 kJ (11,000 kJ).
Therefore, the appropriate amount of energy available for the sparrows and robins in scientific notation with 2 significant digits would be 1.1 x 10^4 kJ.
If a food chain diagram shows the following hawks then robbins and sparrows then caterpillars then cauliflower and cabbage with a number of 110 000 kJ from top down what would be the appropriate amount of energy (kJ) available for the sparrows and robins in 2 significant digits using scientific notation (assume the rule of 10) explained
