Q. Assume T1, T2, T3 and T4 are the various trophic levels from bottom to top in a pyramid. At which trophic level is maximum energy available?

A
T1
B
T2
C
T3
D
T4
Solution:

The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.
