Assignment 22

I read about a blog that talks about how when an tertiary consumer eats, he doesn't receive as much energy as other creatures do. The energy flow begins at the plants where herbivores consume it for energy. Next is the animals like snakes that eat the animals that eat the plants, and as the process happens the snake gets energy from eating the herbivore like a small bunny. Once consumed the snake gets about 100 cal from the bunny that got 1,000 cal from eating the grass that had 10,000. After the snake next comes the tertiary animal like an eagle who eats the snake and gets about 10 cal at the end of the trophic cycle. I like reading about interesting subjects like the process in which animals receive energy and other ones. I would not change a thing about this blog because its informative and it has nothing wrong with it in my opinion. I don't like the lack of pictures in the blog, if there were more than two than it might help with understanding. This blog was located in the website called Britannica, the encyclopedia.
