How much energy is available to organisms on the 5th trophic level compared with those on the 1st

When a primary consumers eat the producers, part of the energy stored in the plants is transferred to the primary consumers. bout 10% of a producer's available energy is passed to the primary consumer, about 90% of energy is lost to the environment.
Since only 10%of energy is available to each subsequent consumer, the energy level becomes too low to be sufficient enough to sustain the consumers at the end of food chain. Hence, food chain rarely have more than 4 trophic levels.

5th trophic level have 10 joule energy when 10000 Joule is present on 1st trophic level.

What do you mean by trophic level?

"The trophic level of an organism is the position it occupies in a food web."
The 1st level comprises autotrophs.
The 5th level consists of top predators.
As we go from 1st level to 2nd, only 10% energy gets transferred and rest 90% is released.

Hence, the answer is 10 joule energy is present on 5th trophic level.
