Answer:
"”The energy flow in the ecosystem follows the second law of thermodynamics.” Explain." ... This trapped energy as biomass is transferred to next trophic level. According to Lindman law only 10% of the stored energy is passed from one trophic level to successive trophic level.

Thermodynamics in science alludes to the investigation of energy moves that happen in particles or assortments of atoms.
Thermodynamics and ecosystem
- The synthetic energy of food is the primary wellspring of energy expected by every single living creature. This energy is sent to various trophic levels along the well-established pecking order. This energy stream depends on two unique laws of thermodynamics:
- The first law of thermodynamics expresses that energy cannot be made nor obliterated, it can change starting with one structure and then onto the next.
- The second law of thermodynamics expresses that as energy is moved increasingly more of it is squandered.
- The energy stream in the biological system is one of the central points that helps the endurance of such an extraordinary number of organic entities. For practically all creatures on the planet, the essential wellspring of energy is sun-oriented energy. It is entertaining to find that we get under 50% of the sun's viable radiation on the planet. At the point when we say viable radiation, we mean the radiation, which can be utilized by plants to complete photosynthesis.
- The energy stream happens by means of the food chain and food web. During the course of the energy stream in the biological system, plants being the makers retain daylight with the assistance of the chloroplasts and a piece of it is changed into substance energy during the time spent photosynthesis.
- This energy is put away in different natural items in the plants and given to the essential customers in the food chain when the herbivores eat (essential purchasers) the plants as food. Then, at that point, the transformation of synthetic energy put away in plant items into motor energy happens, and corruption of energy will happen through its change into heat.
- Then, at that point, trailed by the optional buyers. At the point when these herbivores are ingested via carnivores of the main request (optional buyers), further debasement will happen. At long last, when tertiary buyers consume the carnivores, energy will again be corrupted. In this manner, the energy stream is unidirectional in nature.
- Besides, in a pecking order, the energy stream keeps the 10% regulation. As indicated by this regulation, just 10% of energy is moved from one trophic level to the next; the rest is lost in the climate. This is plainly made sense of in the accompanying figure and is addressed as an energy pyramid.
