Q. Energy transfer from one trophic level to other, in a food chain is

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

As per 10 percent law, only $10\%$ of the energy fixed at one trophic level is passed to next trophic level. For example, when plants are eaten by animals only $10\%$ of energy of the food is fixed into animal flesh; rest is lost through respiration.
