Question

in a typical food chain, about what percentage of energy is passed on to the next trophic level? a 1% b 10% c 20% d 40%

Explanation:

In a typical food chain, the 10% energy transfer rule (also known as Lindeman's 10% law) states that only about 10% of the energy from one trophic level is passed on to the next trophic level. The rest is lost as heat, used for metabolic processes, etc. So the correct option is B.

Answer:

B. 10%
