Define 10% law of energy transfer |
| Answer» The 10 percent law was given by Raymond Lindeman which demonstrates the transfer of energy that takes place from one trophic level to the other.According to the law, during the transfer of energy from one trophic level to another, only 10℅ is available for the next trophic level as the other 90℅ is lost as heat to the surroundings.\xa0For example: In a given simple food chain-Primary producer( Plants) ----> Primary consumer( deer) -------> Secondary consumer( Lion), the primary producers form the first trophic level, the primary consumers the second and so on. In this example, if the first level gets 1000kcal of energy, the next one gets 100 kcal while the third gets 10 kcal. | |
