Question

A detritus food chain accounts for more energy flow than the grazing food chain,since most organisms die without being eaten

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Detritus food chains is the type of food chain that ensures maximum utilization and minimum wastage of available material. Detritus food chain begins with dead organic matter. When organisms die then their body form a source of energy and raw materials for other organisms. The amount of energy present is high in a dead organism. The energy flow rate is very slow but amount of energy is high as it doesn't have any other organisms in between decomposers and dead organic matter.

So the given statement is true.
