Question

Loss of energy from one trophic level to next higher trophic level is:

• A. 30%
• B. 40%
• C. 60%
• D. 90%

Answer 1

The correct option is D 90%

According to 10% law, 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next successive trophic level. The rest of the energy, that is 90% of energy is lost during the transfer of energy from one trophic level to the next higher trophic level. The first trophic level has the maximum energy.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
