In some ecosystems more energy flows through the detritus food chain than through grazing food chain. In detritus food chain the energy flow remains as a continuous passage rather than as a stepwise flow between discrete entities. The organisms in the detritus food chain are many and include algae, fungi, bacteria, slime moulds, actinomycetes, protozoa, etc. Detritus organisms ingest pieces of partially decomposed organic matter, digest them partially and after extracting some of the chemical energy in the food to run their metabolism, excrete the remainder in the form of simpler organic molecules.
Therefore, it doesn't follow a stepwise 10% law .
I hope this will help you.

Ditiritus Food Chain

Explanation:

  1. 10% law is followed in detritus organic phenomenon as most of the energy is lost as heat and solely 100 percent is transferred from one organic process level to ensuing. but most of the detritus food chains are  little sized and thus the law isn't as evident as in alternative larger food chains.
  2. The detritus organic phenomenon is proscribed in that accessible alternative energy typically remains underutilised. decomposition may be a for the most part aerobic method, requiring element.
  3. Its potency is heavily hooked in to the chemical composition of the dead organic matter, environmental temperature and hydrogen ion concentration, and atmospheric condition.
  4. Because there's a partial digestion of food to get energy by microbes, tons of organic nutrients are excreted within the variety of waste. however in line with the ten law of energy transfer the detritus organic phenomenon is additionally restricted until four to five organic process levels.
  5. The base of the pyramid consists of species referred to as autotrophs, the first producers of the system.
  6. All alternative organisms within the system are shoppers referred to as heterotrophs, that either directly or indirectly rely on the first producers for food energy.
