If 20J of energy is trapped at producer level, then how much energy will be available to peacock as food in the following chain?
Plant `rarr` mice `rarr` snake `rarr` peacock

A

0.02 J

B

0.002J

C

0.2 J

D

0.0002J

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
According to 10% law of enery flow by Raynold Lindeman. The total amount of energy that can be transferred to the next trophic level is the 10% hence, peacock will receive 0.02J of energy as top consumer.
Energy received by other organism are
Plant `to` 20J
Mice ` to 20 xx 10% =2J`
Snake `to 2xx 10%=0.2J`
