The organisms in a food chain are listed in order of trophic level from left to right. based on the food chain, if a hawk acquires 50 calories of energy, how much energy did the grasshopper get from the plant?
a. 500 calories
b. 5,000 calories
c. 50,000 calories
d. 500,000 calories

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

calories

If snake received 500 calories of energy, then its previous trophic level would have energy equal to

calories

If rat received 5000 calories of energy, then its previous trophic level would have energy equal to

calories

Hence, option C is correct

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

Active transport often takes place in the internal lining of the small intestine.
