Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
In an energy pyramid, the energy decreases at each successive trophic level due to the 
rule, where approximately 
of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, with the rest lost as heat. Given that 
is equivalent to 1000 J, we can calculate the energy at 
by working down the pyramid. Starting from 
, the energy at 
would be 10 times that, or 
. Similarly, 
would be 10 times 
, or 
, and 
would be 10 times 
, or 
. Therefore, the value of 
is 
.
