Question

A farmer cultivates carrot in the field. (a) Make a possible food chain with four trophic levels that may develop there. (b) What is the relation between the energy received by the third trophic level and energy stored in the second trophic level?

Answer 1

Dear Student

(a) Food chain with possible trophic level that may develop will be:

$Carrot\to Rabbit\to Fox\to Lion$
(b) Relation of energy received between any two consecutive trophic levels is 10% of the total amount by ten percent energy rule. Thus fourth tropic level will receive 10% of energy present in third trophic level.
