Q) In a food chain, the solar energy utilized by plants is only
(A) 10 percent
(B) 1 Percent
(C) 0.1 percent
(D) 0.01 Percent
Source:Wikipedia
The efficiency with which energy or biomass is transferred from one trophic level to the next is called the ecological efficiency. Consumers at each level convert on average only about 10 percent of the chemical energy in their food to their own organic tissue. For this reason, food chains rarely extend for more than 5 or 6 levels. At the lowest trophic level (the bottom of the food chain), plants convert about one percent of the sunlight they receive into chemical energy. It follows from this that the total energy originally present in the incident sunlight that is finally embodied in a tertiary consumer is about 0.001 %
10% Law in tropic Levels: Every time somethingโs eaten only ten percent of the energy makes it to the consumer. For example: a plant uses photosynthesis and would be able to use 10% of the energy, then a Goat eats the plant and gets 10% of the plants energy, which is 1% of the original suns energy. Next a person eats the Goat and only gets .1% of the original energy from the sun.
