According to a question, If they ask Explain 10% law and give its example.
How to present its example??
My doubt is that Whether we can substitute any value from the starting of Diagram i,.e, Sunlight
( like 10000J etc) Instead of 10000J whether we can substitute any value (i.e, only 1000J etc)?
Please explain it clearly??

Answer:
Yes you are right
Explanation:
10%law is given by Lindemann (1942).It states that the energy transferred from one trophic level to the other is only 10%.
You must give an example of a food chain with your own energy values but make sure you follow the 10% law
Answer:
The diagrams show ecological pyramid, it is graphically represented to show the biomass or productivity of the biomass at each trophic level in an ecosystem.
According to ten percent law, during the transfer of energy from organic food from one trophic level to the next, only about ten percent of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to another. The remaining is lost during transfer, broken down in respiration, or lost to incomplete digestion by higher trophic levels. In the example given, as 10000J of energy is produced by producers, but only 1,000J is transferred to primary consumers and same way only 100J is transferred to secondary consumers.
