In a food chain of Grass - Deer - Leopard, if 1000 Joules of energy is available at the producer level, then how much energy will be received by leopard ?
Options
- A1000 Joules
- B100 Joules
- C10 Joules
- D1 Joules
Correct answer
C. 10 Joules
Step-by-step solution
According to the law of energy transfer proposed by Lindeman, only of the energy available at one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level.
The given food chain is: Grass → Deer → Leopard.
Energy available at the producer level (Grass) Joules.
Energy transferred to the primary consumer (Deer) of Joules Joules.
Energy transferred to the secondary consumer (Leopard) of Joules Joules.
Thus, the energy received by the leopard is Joules.
Answer: 10 Joules
The given food chain is: Grass → Deer → Leopard.
Energy available at the producer level (Grass) Joules.
Energy transferred to the primary consumer (Deer) of Joules Joules.
Energy transferred to the secondary consumer (Leopard) of Joules Joules.
Thus, the energy received by the leopard is Joules.
Answer: 10 Joules
