Less than 0.1% of the energy in a food chain generally makes it from the sun to quaternary consumers.

Answered by admin @ 02/08/2021

From one tropical level to next tropical level only 10% of energy transferred rest 90% of energy get as a heat through metabolic process.

lets assume 100 kcal energy is coming from sun

I hope it is clear how energy transferred from one consumer to next consumer.
