less

D

can not be ascertained from the data

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Ecological efficiency is the percentage of energy converted into biomass by a higher trophic level over the energy of food resources available at the lower trophic level. In both cases mentioned in the question, it will be 1/10.
