Question

WHICH of the following amount of energy is utilized by herbivore from the food they ingest
a.5%
b.10%
c.20%
d.30%​

Answer 1

Hello ☺️☺️ ☺️

the answer is option b 10%

explanation:
whenever there is flow of energy in a food chain 10% law is followed. this means that 10% of the energy present in one trophic level will be transferred to the next trophic level.

in this question, 10% of the energy present in the producers is transferred to the herbivores.

hope this helps you
☺️☺️

Answer 2

Only '10%' of the energy is used by the herbivores from the food they ingest.

Explanation:

'Trophic level' of an organism is the level it is placed in a 'food chain'. Food chain is sequential diagram of organism that eats any other organisms. It is mentioned in the theory that as the level decreases, the 'amount of energy' at each 'trophic level' also decreases. Only '10%' of the energy is transferred to next level, rest is largely lost due to metabolic processes.
