Question

Energy transfer that involves interlocking food chain?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The transfer of food energy from its source in autotrophs (plants) through a series of organisms that consume and are consumed is termed the food chain. At each trans­fer, a proportion (often as high as 80 or 90 percent) of the potential energy is lost as heat. Therefore, the shorter the food chain—or the nearer the organism to the pro­ducer trophic level—the greater the energy available to that population. However, whereas the quantity of energy declines with each transfer, the quality or concentration of the energy that is transferred increases.
