Question
In the following: grass----grasscutter----tiger----man; the amount of energy that moves from the grasscutter to tiger is:
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Assuming the grasscutter is a primary consumer and the tiger is a secondary consumer, the energy transfer efficiency between these trophic levels is typically around 10%. So, about 10% of the energy in the grasscutter (the prey) is transferred to the tiger (the predator).
Hint
Apply the standard 10% rule for energy transfer between any two consecutive levels.
