•CALCULATE THE ENERGY AVAILABLE AT EACH LEVEL USING THE 10% RULE•
• PRODUCER .1%
• HERBIVORE 1%
• OMNIVORE 10%
• CARNIVORE 100%

THE ENERGY AVAILABLE AT EACH LEVEL USING THE 10% RULE :

Plants = 100 Kcal

herbivores = 10 Kcal

omnivores = 1 Kcal

carnivore= 0.1 Kcal

Explanation:

With the upward movement in a trophic level the energy transfer decreases. Only 10 % of the energy is transferred to the other trophic level, the majority of energy is dissipated as heat. This is the energy which is used for metabolic processes as respiration, excretion, digestion and in the process of reproduction.

Plants are the producers and initiators of the energy pyramid. It is from here the energy gets transferred to other levels based on the eating habits.

Herbivores are the primary consumers. Omnivores consuming herbivores and plants are secondary consumers and the carnivores are tertiary consumers.

Using 10 % rule of energy transfer

Plants = 100 % energy will transfer 10 % energy to herbivores

plants 100%

herbivores = 10 Kcal

omnivores = 1 Kcal

carnivore= 0.1 Kcal

i'm thinking (a) to keep sand in place; ////////////

explanation: a sand fence or sandbreak, like a snow fence, is used to force windblown, drifting sand to accumulate in a desired place. sand fences are employed to control erosion, sand dune stabilization, keep sand off roadways, and to recruit new material in desert areas.
