Introduction:
Extinction vortex is a model that helps the ecologists, biologists, and geneticists to determine the reason for the extinction of the species. This model reveals the causes that lead to the vulnerability of the small populations, as they spiral toward the extinction. This model was developed by M. E. Gilpin and M. E Soule in 1986.

Explanation of Solution
The given figures are the depiction of a graph which determines the amount of biomass of grass population transferred to mountain lions. The grass is an autotroph and makes its own food by the help of photosynthesis. When deer eat this grass, then only 10% of the energy in the grass is transferred to the deer. Further, when the lion eats the deer, then again, only 10% of the energy taken by the deer is transferred to the mountain lion.
