observe the food chain: plant (1000KJ) - goat - lion
a) if autotrophs occupying the first tropical level are called producers what are herbivores called as ?
b ) how much energy does the lion get in the above food chain ?
Please find below the solution to the asked query
(a). The herbivores are called primary consumers.
(b). According to the 10% energy transfer law which states that only 10% of energy is transferred to each trophic level from the lower trophic level), the lion in the food chain will get 10Kj of energy while goat will have 100Kj of energy.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the food chain.
