in the insect population lived I in an ecosystem where there was 2 ,800 kcals of energy that the onsumed. How many kcals 28,000 280 28 2,800

## Step 1: Understand the problemThe problem is based on the concept of energy transfer in an ecosystem. In a food chain, only about 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. This is known as the "10% rule". ## Step 2: Identify the given informationThe rat consumed an insect population with a total energy of 2,800 kcals. ## Step 3: Apply the 10% ruleThe owl, being one trophic level above the rat, will receive only 10% of the energy that the rat consumed. Therefore, we need to calculate 10% of 2,800 kcals.### ## Step 4: Calculate the energy transferred to the owlSubstitute the given value into the formula and calculate the result.###
