If 20 J of energy is trapped at the producer level, then how much energy will be available to eagle as food in the following food chain? Plant → Rabbit→ Snake → Eagle |
0.02 J 0.002 J 0.2 J 0.0002 J |
0.02 J |
According to 10% law of energy flow, eagle will receive 0.02 J of energy as top consumer. Energy received by the organisms at different trophic level can be seen as follows Plant → 20J Rabbit → 20 ×10% =2 J Snake → 2 ×10% =0.2 J Eagle → 0.2 ×10% =0.02 J
