A calorie is a measure of energy. Assume that there are 1000 calories of plants in a chamber. If grasshoppers (a plant eating insect) eat all of the plants and a bird eats all of the grasshoppers, how many calories did the bird actually absorb if only 10% of the energy is transferred between each level.

What is Calorie?

A calorie may be defined as a unit of energy that we get from food products and burn during a physical workout.

According to the 10% law given by Lindeman, if a plant chamber consists of 1000 cal., the amount of energy transferred to herbivores is 10% of 1000 which is 100 calories.

Similarly, the 10% of 100 cal., gets transferred to the next trophic level which is carnivores or secondary consumers. The 10% of 100 is 10 calories.

Therefore, only 10 calories did the bird actually absorb when there is a total of 1000 calories were stored in a plant chamber.
