Killer Whale would receive 1 calorie of
energy from the original grass.
To calculate how much energy from the original grass a Killer
Whale gets if we started with 10,000 calories, we need tc
consider the energy transfer efficiency at each trophic level,
1. Grass to Cow: Energy transfer efficiency is typically arounc
10%. So, if we start with 10,000 calories of grass, the Cow
would receive 10% of that energy, which is 10,000 * 0.10 = 1,00C
calories.
2. Cow to Human: Again, energy transfer efficiency is around
10%, Therefore. the Human would receive 10% of the energy
the Cow had, which is 1,000 ' 010 = 100 calories
3. Human to Shark: Once more, considering an energy transfer
efficiency of 10%, the Shark would receive 10% of the energy
the Human had, which is 100 * 0.10 = 10 calories
4. Shark to kller Whale: Lastly, with a 10% energy transfet
efficiency, the Killer WIhale would get 10% of the energy the
Shark had, which is 10 + 010 = 1calorie
Therefore, a Killer Whale would get 1 calorie of energy from the
original 10,000 calories of grass if we consider a 10% energy
transfer efficiency at each trophic level
In conclusion, the Killer Whale would receive 1 calorie of
energy from the original grass.
