Q.

In the given food chain, suppose the amount of energy at fourth trophic level is 5 kJ, what will be the energy available at the producer level

Grass  Grasshopper  Frog  Snake  Hawk

1 5 kJ  
2 50 kJ  
3 500 kJ  
4 5000 kJ  

Ans.

(4)

According to the 10 per cent law, only 10% of the energy available in a trophic level is passed on to the next trophic level. As a result, if the energy available at the fourth trophic level is 5 kJ, then the energy available at the producer level is 5000 kJ:
5  50  500  5000.
