Assume that humans are the second-level carnivores and that each energy unit in their level represents 25 people. How many people can be supported in the ecosystem?
The average efficiency of energy transfer between trophic levels is 10%. Use this efficiency to determine how much phytoplankton mass is required to add just 1 gram (0.04 ounce) of new mass to a killer whale, which is a third-level or top carnivore.

How would your answer change if the efficiency were half the average rate? Twice the average rate?
