Shouldnt it be 10lakh joules because 1% energy is reabsorbed again.
Dear student.
Lindermann (1942) stated the 10% law of energy transfer in an ecosystem. According to this law, only 10% of energy is transfer from one trophic level of the food chain to the next, rest 90% of it is lost as heat into the environment and some of it is used in digestion or respiration and for doing other work like growth, repair etc. In the below diagram Sun transferred 1000000J, producer (plants) utilised 1% of it, i.e 10,000j
