What energy percentage can be captured by the organisms of next trophic level
or
transfer of energy from one trophic level is according to second law of thermodynamics. The efficiency of energy transfer from herbivorous to carnivorous is

A

`20%`

B

`30%`

C

`90%`

D

`10%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Lindeman gave the law of `10%` for energy flow `(10%` energy transfer law`)`, i.e., only `10%` of total energy received by one trophic level is transferred to next trophic level.
