A snake eats the eggs in a bird's nest. Later that day, a hawk swoops down and eats the snake. Approximately what percentage of the energy in the eggs was transferred to the hawk?

Hi there!

This would be an example of an energy pyramid! In an energy pyramid, the next trophic level gets only 10% of the energy from the level below it. In this example, lets say that there is 100 energy in the eggs. Then, 10% of that goes to the snake, so the snake gets 10. Lastly, the hawk eats the snake, so the hawk gets 1. The answer is 1%, option A.

Hope this helps!! :)
If there is anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!

Approximately, 1% of the energy in the eggs was transferred to the hawk. Thus, the correct option is A.

How does energy gets transferred from one trophic level to another?

According to the 10 percent law given by Lindeman, only 10% of the actual energy gets transferred from one trophic level to the next in the ecosystem.

Suppose, if an egg contains 100% of the total energy, only 10% gets transferred to a snake, while 1% of the energy gets transferred to a hawk that eats the snake that consumes the bird's egg.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
