Question

Amount of energy transferred from one trophic level to another is

• A. 10%
• B. 20%
• C. 30%
• D. 40%

Answer 1

The correct option is A 10%

According to the Ten percent law which was introduced by Raymond Lindeman (1942), during the transfer of energy from organic food from one trophic level to the next, only about ten percent of the energy from organic matter is stored as flesh.

The remaining is lost during transfer, broken down in respiration, or lost to incomplete digestion by higher trophic.
Therefore, option a) 10% is the correct answer.
