If the energy available at the producer level in a food chain is 150 J, how much energy will be transferred to: tertiary consumer?


According to ten percent energy rule- 10% of energy available at producer is transferred to primary consumer, so primary consumer receives 15J energy. 10% of 15J is transferred to secondary consumer. The secondary consumer receives 1.5J energy. The tertiary consumer will receive 10% of 1.5J i.e. 0.15J.
