To determine how much energy would be available to man in the given food chain (Plants → Sheep → Man), we will apply the 10% energy transfer rule. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the initial energy available to plants The initial energy available to plants is given as 20,000 Joules. ### Step 2: Calculate the energy transferred to the sheep According to the 10% law of energy transfer, only 10% of the energy from one trophic level is passed on to the next. Therefore, we calculate the energy available to the sheep: ...
