Question

Which of the following is INCORRECT regarding the flow of energy between various components of the environment?


A.

Every trophic level loses some energy as heat to the environment.


B.

Green plants capture about 10% of the solar energy that falls on leaves.


C.

The amount of organic matter present at each trophic level is 10%.


D.

Energy flow is unidirectional.

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (B)   ​Green plants capture about 10% of the solar energy that falls on leaves

  • Plants absorb only 1-2% of sunlight that reaches their leaves, while the remaining 98-99% is reflected or converted into heat.
  • Energy flow in ecosystems moves in a single direction, from lower trophic levels to higher trophic levels.
  • At each trophic level, only about 10% of energy is transferred, while the rest is lost to the environment.
