Tammy · Answer 1

500 because 10% of the energy moves up

Colt · Answer 2

500 because of the 10% rule when moving up in food chains, for example; patch of grass-200J rabbit eats some of it but doesn’t eat all - 150J the rabbit runs around for a bit and loses energy, the fox doesn’t eat all of the rabbit - 50J (just a rough example may not be completely right but the concept of the rule is there and the energy).
