Transfer of energy problem solving: Let us assign some values to the energy that flows in each trophic level. Assuming that the amount of energy that reaches a one (1) hectare of farmland is 10 million kcal/year.  1.4 What is the available energy to the quaternary consumer if the tertiary consumer had eaten 40 % of the stored energy in the secondary consumer?  2.3. How much energy is available to the tertiary consumer if the secondary consumer had eaten 30 % of the energy stored in the herbivore?

Energy Flow

Energy flow is the continuous and directional flow of energy through living beings within an ecosystem. All living beings can be segregated into producers and consumers. These producers and consumers can be further divided in a food chain. The term ‘trophic level’ is assigned to each level of the food chain.
