MCQ
Which of the following statements is incorrect?
  • A
    Energy content gradually decreases from first to fourth trophic level
  • B
    Biomass decreases from first to fourth trophic level
  • Energy content gradually increases from first to fourth trophic level
  • D
    Number of individuals decreases from first trophic level to fourth trophic level

Answer

Correct option: C.
Energy content gradually increases from first to fourth trophic level
c
Energy content does not remain trapped permanently in any organism. It is passed on to various trophic levels in food chain.

Hence, energy content gradually decreases from first $\left(T_{1}\right)$ to fourth $\left(T_{4}\right)$ trophic level by following ten percent law proposed by Lindemann.
