Question

Every trophic level transfers ........... of its energy to the next level.

• A. 0.1%
• B. 1%
• C. 10%
• D. 100%

Answer 1

The correct option is C 10%

The 10 percent law was given by the Lindeman in 1942. There are different trophic levels in a food chain. The law states that only 10 percent of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next level and the remaining amount of energy is lost by the metabolic process.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
