In relation to energy transfer in ecosystem, explain the statement "10 kg of deer's meat is equivalent to 1 kg of lion's flesh"

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain the statement "10 kg of deer's meat is equivalent to 1 kg of lion's flesh" in relation to energy transfer in ecosystems, we can break it down into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Energy Transfer in Ecosystems**: - In an ecosystem, energy flows from one trophic level to another. This flow of energy is governed by the 10% rule, which states that only about 10% of the energy from one trophic level is transferred to the next level. 2. **Identifying Trophic Levels**: ...
