If 30 J of energy is trapped at producers level, than now much energy will be available to peacock as food in the following chain ?
Plant `to` Mice `to` Snake `to` Peacock

A

0.3 J

B

0.03 J

C

0.0003 J

D

0.003 J

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
According to `10%` law energy flow by Raymond Lindeman (1942) the total amount of energy that can be transferred to the next trophic level is on,y `01%`. Hence, peacock will receive 0.03 J of energy as top consumer. Energy received by the organisms at different trophic level can be seen as follows
Plant `to 30J`
Mice `to30xx10%=3J`
Snake `to3xx10%=0.3J`
Peacock `to0.3xx10%=0.03J`
