The amount of energy the producers in this energy pyramid provide the primary consumers is 54,000 joules. From this amount, 540 joules are provided to the tertiary consumers
The answer to this question would be: B) 5,400 J The question for this problem probably asking about the energy for the secondary consumer. In the energy pyramid, the total energy transferred will be only 10% of total energy received/provided. That means the 54,000J from primary will be decreased into 5,400J in the secondary and then into 540J into the tertiary.
