14. Calculate the amount of energy available to lion in the following food chain if plants
have 20000J of energy available from the Sun:
Plants Deer Lion

Answer 1

Answer:

The lion will have 20 J of energy in the given food chain.

Explanation:

According to the 10% law,

The plants will absorb 10% of the energy of the sun (i.e), 2000 J.

Similarly, the deer will absorb 10% of the energy from the plants which it consumes (i.e), 200 J.

Therefore, the lion will be left with 20 J of the sun's energy.
