Calculate the amount of energy available...

Calculate the amount of energy available to lion in the following food chain if plants have 20,000 J of energy available from the sun.
`"Plant"rarr"Deer"rarr"Lion"`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to `10%` Law,
Plants have 20,000 J energy available.
Plants transferred their `10%` energy to deer i.e.
`20,000xx(10)/(100)=2000J`
Deer received 2000 J energy from the plants and now it transfers `10%` energy to lion.
`20,000xx(10)/(100)=2000J`
Hence, lion will have 200 J energy from deer.
