Thetrophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) is defined as the product of 100 and the quotient of production at the trophic level of interest and the trophic level one position lower. If the primary producers in a particular ecosystem provide 5000 kcal/m2/yr and the primary consumers in this ecosystem produce 1000 kcal/m2/yr, what is the TLTE for these two trophic levels in this ecosystem?
