Igcse Model Questions Vol1 2020 Biology Question 15
Practice objective / multiple choice question 15 from the 2020 Igcse Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
In a grassland ecosystem the total primary production is \(5000\ \text{MJ}\) per year. Only \(10\%\) of this energy is stored as biomass by the primary producers. Herbivores convert \(20\%\) of the biomass they consume into their own biomass, and carnivores convert \(10\%\) of the herbivore biomass they consume. Of the total carnivore biomass, top predators obtain \(60\%\) while secondary carnivores obtain the remaining \(40\%\). Calculate (a) the total energy available to all carnivores per year (in MJ) and (b) the energy obtained by top predators per year (in MJ).
