1 answer
The correct response is:
10% of the energy at one trophic level is available to the next level.
This refers to the concept that when energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next in a food chain, only a portion of it (usually around 10%) is converted into biomass for the next level, while the rest is lost mainly through metabolic processes as heat or used for life processes.
