Energy flow and energy transormations in living systems stricly conform to the
OR
Flow of energy declines from low to higher trophic level in ecosystem, is mainly explained by

A

Law of limiting factors

B

Liebig's law of minimum

C

Laws of thermodynamics (second)

D

Shelford's law of tolerance

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

In ecosystem energy transfers from one form to another and some energy loss in the form of heat, it follows the `II^(nd)` law of thermodynamics states that, "Process involving energy transformation will not occur spontaneously unless there is degradation of energy from non random to a random form".
