Question

The loss of energy as one proceeds from one trophic level to the next higher level is approximately (A) 30 per cent (B) 40 per cent (C) 60 per cent (D) 90 per cent

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Lindemann gave the law of 10 % for energy flow (10 % energy transfer law), ie, only 10 % of total energy received by one trophic level is transferred to next trophic level. The loss of energy as one proceeds from one trophic level to the next higher level is 90 per cent.

Lindemann gave the law of $10%$ for energy flow ( $10%$ energy transfer law), ie, only $10%$ of total energy received by one trophic level is transferred to next trophic level. The loss of energy as one proceeds from one trophic level to the next higher level is $90$ per cent.
