Answer:
Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.
b. 10% of energy is transferred from the first to the second trophic level.
Explanation:
In trophic level flow of energy is one way, only a small amount of energy get transferred with the organism. A large amount of energy gets dissipated in life processes like respiration, reproduction and digestion. The energy is also released as waste product. Thus, only ten per-cent of the total energy is present in the organism.
The energy transfer does not depend on the number of trophic levels.
Each trophic level receives the 10% energy from the previous trophic level as when algae is eaten by flagship.
