Question

Less than 0.1% of the energy in a food chain generally makes it from the sun to quaternary consumers.

Answer 1

This statement is true.

Reason:

Plants are capable of storing energy from the sun and with the help of that they produce their own food. And this energy is transformed to the animals as well as human being when they consume the food which was grown on the plants. But when they consume it they are only able to get 10% of the energy and the last consumers are able to get only about 1% of the energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

It is correct that less than 0.1% of the energy in a food chain makes it from the sun to quaternary consumers.

Except for the plants which get 100% of the power from the sun by tapping it to make their food, the primary consumers get 10% of the energy feeding on the plants, the secondary consumers get 10% of the energy of the primary consumers, and the quaternary consumers get 01.% of the energy.
