The food webs operate in both aquatic as well as terrestrial ecosystems . Answer the following equations on food chains and food webs : Why do the organisms of a higher torphic level have less energy available than those of a lower trophic level ?

Solution :Because during energy transfer from LOWER to HIGHER TROPHIC LEVEL, about 90% of energy is lost at each transfer.

Question : The number of trophic levels in an ecosystem is limited. Comment.

Answer»

Solution :In a food chain, only 10% of the TOTAL amount of ENERGY is PASSED on to the next trophic LEVEL from the previous trophic level. So, there is a decrease in the amount of energy available at the successive trophic levels. As we move higher up in the food chain the amount of energy diminishes to a level at which it cannot sustain any trophic level, thereby limiting the NUMBER of trophic levels.
