Neco 2021 Biology Question 13
Practice objective / multiple choice question 13 from the 2021 Neco Biology examination.
In a grassland ecosystem the net primary productivity is \(8000\ \text{kJ m}^{-2}\text{ yr}^{-1}\). The area under consideration is \(2\ \text{ha}\). Herbivores convert \(10\%\) of the energy they obtain into their own biomass, and carnivores convert \(20\%\) of the energy they obtain from herbivores. Assuming the same \(20\%\) conversion efficiency for tertiary consumers feeding on carnivores, calculate the amount of energy (in kJ) available to tertiary consumers per year.
