Answer:
As per 10% rule, this food chain will go on for four or five trophic levels and it has to end at some trophics
Explanation:
The detritus food chain starts from the decomposition of organic matter and the nutrients and energy released flows to other tropic levels in step by step manner.
Because there is a partial digestion of food to obtain chemical energy by microbes, a lot of organic nutrients are excreted in the form of waste.
But according to the 10% law of energy transfer the detritus food chain is also restricted till 4 to 5 trophic levels. they are usually even less because the energy production is low.
