The figure shows a pyramid of energy which represents energy loss from a food chain to decomposers, upward transfer of energy to the next trophic level and energy loss through respiration. All diagram are in `km^(-2)Y^(-1)`

A

The energy of the final trophic level is not used

B

Food chain efficiency is about `10%`

C

Energy loss to decomposers is higher than the respiratory loss

D

A pyramid of energy shows the nutrient transfer less clearly than a pyramid of numbers

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
According to `10%` law the transfer energy from organic food from one trophic level to the next only about ten percent of energy from organic matter is stored as flash and remaining is lost during transfer.
