If 20 J of energy is trapped at the producer level, then how much energy will be available to the peacock in the following food chain? plant \to mice \to snake \to peacock

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

According to Lindeman's 10% law, only 10% of energy is transferred to the next trophic level.Producers (Plant) = 20 J Primary Consumer (Mice) = 10% of 20 = 2 J Secondary Consumer (Snake) = 10% of 2 = 0.2 J Tertiary Consumer (Peacock) = 10% of 0.2 = 0.02 J

Try it yourself before checking the explanation above.
