Question

define 10 percent law

Answer 1

Answer:

The 10 percent law was given by Raymond Lindeman which demonstrates the transfer of energy that takes place from one trophic level to the other.

According to the law, during the transfer of energy from one trophic level to another, only 10℅ is available for the next trophic level as the other 90℅ is lost as heat to the surroundings.

For example: In a given simple food chain-

Primary producer( Plants) ----> Primary consumer( deer) -------> Secondary consumer( Lion), the primary producers form the first trophic level, the primary consumers the second and so on. In this example, if the first level gets 1000kcal of energy, the next one gets 100 kcal while the third gets 10 kcal.

Answer 2

Answer:

Here is ur answer.

Explanation:

10% energy transfer law in the food chain is put forth by Lindeman. A pyramid of energy depicts the energy flow form one trophic level to another trophic level in the food chain. According to 10 percent law, 90% of the energy captured from the previous trophic level is lost as heat to the environment and only 10 percent is made available to the next trophic level. Energy flow is from environmental sunlight to producers, producers to primary consumers, primary consumers to secondary consumers and so on.
