Answer:
The correct answer is: B.
Explanation:
- Energy flows from one organism to another through the Food Chain.
- A Food Chain can be defined as a hierarchy formed by different organisms, like producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, scavengers and decomposers.
- The different energy levels represented by each of the organisms that form a food chain is called the Trophic level.
- The organism of one trophic level functions as the source of food for the organism of the next trophic level.
- The flow of energy is unidirectional, that is, from the producers to the decomposers.
- The Sun is the initial energy source.
- The light energy is utilised by the producer (plant) to produce its food. Of the total (100%) energy that a plant obtains, it utilises 90% of the energy for the purpose of metabolism and the rest 10% of the energy is transmitted to the primary consumer (herbivore) who consume the plants. Again, the herbivore utilises 90% of the energy it obtained from the plant for its metabolism and transmits remaining 10% of the energy to the secondary consumer (carnivore) who consume the herbivore.
- This is known as the 10% Law of Energy Flow, which means that along a food chain only 10% of energy is transmitted from one trophic level to the next trophic level.
Answer:
B.Plants harness more energy from the sun compared to an herbivore eating plants, and an herbivore gains more energy from eating plants compared to a carnivore eating meat.
