The painted butterfly can be part of the following food chain that is typically found in North America (moss of representative organisms follows in paranthese): mallow leaves (butterfly food medium constituent) (0.2g per leaf), painted lady butterfly caterpillar (0.5g), American robin (77g), domestic house cat (5kg). Assuming that 10% of the biomass from one trophic level is transferred to the next higher level, calculate the number of robins, caterpillars, and mallow leaves that must be consumed to support one 5-kg domestic house cat in this food chain.Science Help, Environmental Word Problem?I suggest you to post this question in the science section of Yahoo Answers. I hope you will get the answer you're looking for.
