Detailed explanation-1: -Calculate the percent of energy that is transferred from the first trophic level to the second trophic level. Divide energy from trophic level one and multiply by 100. This amount is the percent of energy transferred. Remember to add a percent sign.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -If energy available at first trophic level is 10, 000 Joules, then at second trophic level energy available will be 10% of 10, 000 which equals to 1000 Joules. Was this answer helpful?
Detailed explanation-4: -On average, only about 10 percent of energy stored as biomass in a trophic level is passed from one level to the next. This is known as “the 10 percent rule” and it limits the number of trophic levels an ecosystem can support. living organisms, and the energy contained within them.
