What is the ten percent rule of ecology

1 Answer

1 vote

Answer: law

Step-by-step explanation:

10% law. When organisms are consumed, approximately 10% of the energy in the food is fixed into their flesh and is available for next trophic level (carnivores or omnivores). When a carnivore or an omnivore in turn consumes that animal, only about 10% of energy is fixed in its flesh for the higher level.

Hope this helps:)
