An energy pyramid is composed of oak trees, rabbits, snakes, and eagles. the producers receive 100% of the total energy from the sun and have a total biomass of 30,000 kg. as you move up the energy pyramid, the biomass for each tropic level decreases 10%. what claim can be made about the biomass in this ecosystem? (4 points) group of answer choices the biomass of the snakes is 300 kg the biomass of the eagles is 3,000 kg. the biomass of the of the rabbits is 30 kg. the biomass of the of the oak trees is 3,000 kg.

The correct option is A) The biomass of the snakes is 300 kg.

Explanation:

Energy is passed from one organism to another as we move up the trophic levels. However, most of the energy is lost and only 10% of the energy is known to travel from one trophic level to another.

In the scenario discussed in the question, the biomass of  the oak trees was calculated to be 30,000 kg. When the rabbits eat the oak trees, they will gain 3000 kg biomass from the oak trees. When the snake eats the rabbits it will gain 300 kg biomass. When the eagles eat the snakes, it will receive 30 kg of biomass.
