Energy and matter is transferred from one organism to another by the process of food chain and food web. In food chain the organism of higher trophic level feeds on the organisms of lower trophic level. On feeding only 10% of the energy gets transferred to the organism of higher trophic level while the rest are being used in the metabolic processes and are produced as heat. This is called as ten percent energy transfer rule.
The mathematical representation of the transfer of energy is given as
Gene expression is a process by which the information from a specific gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product. These products can be proteins and a functional RNA.
