The diagram represents a pyramid of energy which shows energy loss from a food chain to decomposers, upward transfer of energy to the next trophic level and energy loss through respiration. All figures are in kK m–2Y–1
What is illustrated by this diagram?
A
A pyramid of energy shows the nutrient transfer less clearly than a pyramid of numbers.
B
Energy loss to decomposers is higher than respiratory loss.
C
Food chain efficiency is about 10%
D
They energy of the final trophic level is not used.
Answer
Food chain efficiency is about 10%
