Answer:
if a hawk acquires 50 calories of energy, how much energy did the grasshopper get from the plant? the grasshopper gets 500 calories from the plant
Explanation:
The energy trophic level best explains the feeding pattern.
man---> hawk----->lizard----->grasshopper-----> plant
Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
In this food chain the order from higher to lower trophic level organism is
Hawk , snake, rat, grasshopper, plants
Plants are the main source of energy and at each trophic level nearly 10 of the energy of the previous trophic level is transferred.
Hence, If hawk received 50 calories of energy, then its previous trophic level would have energy equal to
[tex]\frac{50* 100}{10} \\= 500[/tex] calories
If snake received 500 calories of energy, then its previous trophic level would have energy equal to
[tex]\frac{500* 100}{10} \\= 5000[/tex] calories
If rat received 5000 calories of energy, then its previous trophic level would have energy equal to
[tex]\frac{5000* 100}{10} \\= 50000[/tex] calories
Hence, option C is correct
