Construct an energy pyramid to illustrate the amount of energy at each trophic level up to the quaternary consumers given that the producers have 150 000 kcal of energy.

If 90,000 kg of biomass are available at the primary producer level within a trophic pyramid, how many kilograms of biomass would be available to the tertiary consumer? You can assume that 10% of the energy available is passed on at each trophic level. A) 0.9 B) 9 C) 90 D) 900 E) 9,000 Food Web

You are studying an ecosystem with three trophic levels: Phytoplankton convert sunlight and carbon dioxide to organic material. Zooplankton eat the phytoplankton. Herring fish eat both phytoplankton and zooplankton. You find that zooplankton are able to convert 24% of the energy from phytoplankton into biomass. You also find that herring are able to convert 17% of the energy from zooplankton to biomass. How many kg of herring can be produced from 1,000 kg of phytoplankton? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
