In grass-deer-tiger food chain, grass biomass is one tonne. The tiger biomass shall be

  1. 100 kg
  2. 10 kg
  3. 200 kg
  4. 1 kg

Correct answer: 10 kg

Solution

In a food chain, energy transfer follows the 10% law, where only 10% of energy or biomass is passed to the next trophic level. Starting with 1 tonne (1000 kg) of grass, the deer (primary consumer) would have 100 kg, and the tiger (secondary consumer) would have 10 kg of biomass.
