Question

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(c):A food chain which is most efficient in terms of energy is a Plant $\rightarrow$ Man. This is because only $10 \%$ amount of organic matter that is present at each step, reaches the next level of consumers. Therefore, the shorter the food chain, the more is the energy available to the final member of food chain.
