If 30 J of energy is trapped at producers level, than now much energy will be available to peacock as food in the following chain ? Plant `to` Mice `to` Snake `to` PeacockA. 0.3 JB. 0.03 JC. 0.0003 JD. 0.003 J

Answer» Correct Answer - B
According to `10%` law energy flow by Raymond Lindeman (1942) the total amount of energy that can be transferred to the next trophic level is on,y `01%`. Hence, peacock will receive 0.03 J of energy as top consumer. Energy received by the organisms at different trophic level can be seen as follows
Plant `to 30J`
Mice `to30xx10%=3J`
Snake `to3xx10%=0.3J`
Peacock `to0.3xx10%=0.03J`
