In the given figure, the various trophic levels are shown in a pyramid. At which trophic level is maximum energy available ?

A

`T_(4)`

B

`T_(2)`

C

`T_(1)`

D

`T_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The maximum energy is available at `T_(1)`. There is progressive decline in the amount of energy available from producer to higher trophic levels, i.e., `T_(1)gtT_(2)gtT_(3)gtT_(4)` (energy).
This is because at each trophic level, a large portion of energy is utilised for maintenance of organisms at that trophic level and lost as heat.
