DEFINE LAW OF 10% .

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student
Ten percent law states that only 10% of the energy is transferred from a lower trophic level to a higher one. This means that only 10% of the stored energy from producers is transferred to herbivores. The remaining 90 % of this energy is used by plants for various processes such as respiration, growth, and reproduction. Similarly, only 10% of the energy of herbivores is transferred to carnivores.
