true or false the food chain which includes grass deer and lion in that deer contains maximum energy
Answers
Answer:
False. Grass contains maximum energy
Explanation:
The grass transfers maximum amount of energy and the lion received the minimum amount of energy. Why? It's a consequence of the second law of thermodynamics. It says that no energy transfer is possible without some amount of energy being lost to the surroundings. Your food chain is like this:
Grass ➡ deer ➡ lion
When deer eats the grass, some of the energy from the grass is lost to the surroundings and the rest is utilised for various biological processes of the deer. So the energy the deer obtains from the grass is less than the total. Similarly, energy received by the lion is much less when compared to the energy obtained by the deer. So the grasses transfer maximum energy and the lion receives minimum energy.
