Energy is transferred from one trophic level in a food chain to another. However, not all the energy available at a trophic level is transferred to the next.

Only about 10% of the energy in the lower trophic level gets to the immediate higher trophic level and the rest is lost as metabolic heat.

Thus, if a food chain starts with 10,000 grams of phytoplankton, the quantity that will get to the highest trophic level would depend on the number of intermediate trophic levels in between the lowest and the highest.

For every step the energy is transferred up the trophic level in the food chain, 90% of it is lost.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

In water cycle, water evaporates from the sea and oceans in the form of water vapors due to the radiation of the sun. This evaporation in the ocean is the starting point of water cycle.

Explanation:

Water cycle is also called hydrological cycle. In this cycle , water evaporates from water bodies such as rivers, seas, ponds and oceans etc. Water is also evaporated from plant bodies in the process of both evaporation and transpiration. This water moves in the form of vapors and forms clouds. These clouds moves to the land and fall on the earth surface in the form of rainfall and snowfall. From there, this water moves to the oceans through lakes and rivers and repeat the cycle again.
