Question

In the figure given alongside, the various trophic levels are shown in the form of a pyramid. At which trophic level the maximum energy is available?​

• A. ${\text{T}}_3$
• B. ${\text{T}}_4$
• C. ${\text{T}}_1$
• D. ${\text{T}}_2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C ${\text{T}}_1$

${\text{T}}_1$

• All ecosystems are characterised by a unidirectional flow of energy. ​
• Only 10% of energy is transferred to successive trophic level, therefore organisms at first trophic level have maximum energy available.​
