To construct an ideal pyramid of energy based on the availability of 1,000,000 joules of sunlight, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Joules to Kilocalories - First, we need to convert the available energy from joules to kilocalories. - The conversion factor is: 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules. - Therefore, to convert 1,000,000 joules to kilocalories: \[ \text{Energy in kilocalories} = \frac{1,000,000 \text{ joules}}{4184 \text{ joules/kilocalorie}} \approx 239.0 \text{ kilocalories} ...
