Concept Explanation A. Energy Flow 1. Decreases at successive trophic levels B. Standing Crop 2. Biomass of living organisms at a particular time C. 10 Percent Law 3. Only 10% energy transfer to each trophic level D. Omnivores 4. Organisms feeding on both plants and animals
Options
- AA - 1, B - 2, C - 3, D - 4
- BA - 3, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2
- CA - 2, B - 1, C - 4, D - 3
- DA - 4, B - 3, C - 2, D - 1
Correct answer
A. A - 1, B - 2, C - 3, D - 4
Step-by-step solution
Energy Flow (A) decreases at successive trophic levels (1) because only a portion of energy is passed on to the next level. Standing Crop (B) is the biomass of living organisms at a particular time (2). The 10 Percent Law (C) states that only 10% of energy is transferred to each trophic level (3). Omnivores (D) are organisms feeding on both plants and animals (4).
