Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.35 Quantitative Analysis of Energy Flow skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Producers store 64,000 J of energy. The chain is producers -> primary -> secondary -> tertiary. Two students show work: Student 1: 64,000 x 0.1³ = 64 J Student 2: 64,000 x 0.3 = 19,200 J Who is correct, and why?

AStudent 2 is correct, because 0.3 represents three levels.

BBoth are correct because they both used multiplication.

CStudent 1 is correct, because three transfers means multiply by 0.1 three times (0.1³).

DNeither is correct; you should add 10% three times.

Solution & Explanation:Each transfer keeps about 10% of energy. After three transfers, you multiply by 0.1 three times: 64,000 x 0.1³ = 64,000 x 0.001 = 64 J. Multiplying by 0.3 is not the same as three 10% transfers.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A secondary consumer in a pond has about 400 J of energy available. The ecosystem follows the 10% rule, and secondary consumers are two transfers above producers. "About how much energy did the producers have?,A. 4

A000 J

B400

Solution & Explanation:000 J | D. 400 J,C,Secondary energy = producer energy x 0.1² = producer x 0.01. So producer = 400 ÷ 0.01 = 40

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A chain uses measured transfer rates: 9.5%, 10.5%, and 9%. Producers start with 88,000 J. About how much energy is available after all three transfers? (Round to the nearest tenth.)

A79.0 J

B0.79 J

C790.0 J

D7.9 J

Solution & Explanation:Multiply the producer energy by each transfer rate: 88,000 x 0.095 = 8,360; 8,360 x 0.105 = 877.8; 877.8 x 0.09 = 79.002 J, which rounds to 79.0 J.
