Among the various biotic components maximum energy is available to the tertiary consumers do you agree with this statement explain your answer
Answers
Answer:i THINK THIS IS WRONG BUT CHECK IT
Energy flow through a food chain follows 10 per cent law
Producers have maximum energy because they absorb 1 per cent of energy from sunlight
On getting eaten by Herbivores , herbivores get only 10 percent of total energy of producers and remaining is lost as heat
when secondary consumer eats herbivore again they get only 10 per cent energy of herbivore and rest is lost as heat
successively on getting consumed by tertiary 10 per cent energy of secondary consumer is got which is very low in nature
This is the reason why food chains are usually restricted to 3 or 4 trophic levels
HOPE IT HELPS YOU
Answer:
This is wrong , because we all know that according to 10 % law only 10% of energy entering a particular trophic level of organisms is available for transfer to the next higher trophic level .
Explanation:
Maximum energy is present on lower trophic level that is producers. As we move on the last trophic level there will be very less amount of energy present on last trophic level that is tertiary consumers.
