Detailed explanation-1: -The rest is used for life processes of the organism and some is lost as heat. Q. According to Lindeman’s 10% law, only 10% of energy is transferred to next trophic level.

Detailed explanation-2: -At each trophic level, only about 10% of energy can be passed on to the next level. This is because much of the energy that organisms consume is used to carry out their own bodily functions and growth.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: In an ecosystem, the 10% of energy available for transfer from one trophic level to the next is in the form of chemical energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
