The correct answer should be - 200 J of energy.
Going by the hierarchy of the Trophic levels, the plants are primary producers, the herbivores are the primary consumers, and the carnivores are the secondary consumers.
So, according to the 10% law, at every trophic level, the energy is lost in the food due to biological processes like digestion, or energy lost during transfer or during the breakdown of respiration and other functions. Only 10% of the energy is stored in the flesh or in the body parts.
Therefore according to the 10% rule, if the plants have 20000 J of energy, then when it comes down to next trophic level of the herbivores, the energy level will come down to 2000 J. When it comes down to the next trophic level of the carnivores that includes Man, the energy available will be only 200 J.

1% of 20000 is 200 this is the amount of energy plants get from the sun. According to 10% law energy available to sheep will be 20J and the at last 2J will be available for the man in this food chain
2 J of energy
answer should be 200j
What is the correct answer of this question 2j or 200j?
