CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Everytime an organism consumes something, 90% of the energy is lost as heat during respiration, in digestion, etc. Only 10% is involved in building the body tissue. This 10% is passed to the next trophic level and so on.

Detailed explanation-2: -At each step up the food chain, only 10 percent of the energy is passed on to the next level, while approximately 90 percent of the energy is lost as heat. Teach your students how energy is transferred through an ecosystem with these resources.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is the 10 percent law of energy flow? The 10 percent law of energy flow states that when the energy is passed on from one trophic level to another, only 10 percent of the energy is passed on to the next trophic level.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lindemann gave the ten percent law in 1942. This law states that only 10 percent of energy in a food chain out of the total energy is transferred from one trophic level to another. The rest of the energy is utilized for other metabolic processes and some are released as heat.

Detailed explanation-5: -The ten percent rule states that each trophic level can only give 10% of its energy to the next level. The other 90% is used to live, grow, reproduce and is lost to the environment as heat. All energy pyramids start with energy from the Sun which is transferred to the first trophic level of producers.
