It is known to all that plant captures only 1% of the sunlight.
The amount of energy captured by the plant is 1/100*50000J which is equal to 500 Joules.
Thus, the amount of energy released by plants is 10/100*500 which is 50J according to the 10% law.
Hence, the amount of food energy converted by plant is 500J-50J=450J.
The amount of energy captured by the plant is 1/100*50000J which is equal to 500 Joules.
Thus, the amount of energy released by plants is 10/100*500 which is 50J according to the 10% law.
Hence, the amount of food energy converted by plant is 500J-50J=450J.

HEY!!
____________________________
✔A green plant receives 50000 J of energy from the sun in the form of sunlight.
✔Plants capture only 1% of sunlight. Therefore the amount of energy captured will be 500 Joules (1/100 × 50000 = 500 Joules).
✔According to the 10% law plants will give away only 10% of this captured energy.
✔Thus, the amount of energy released by plants to next trophic level would be 50 Joules (10/100×500= 50 Joules).
✔Thus the amount of energy converted to food energy will be 500-50Joules= 450 joules.
