D
10%
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the question is about energy transfer in an ecosystem, which is a concept from ecology rather than organic chemistry. However, it is important to know how energy flows through trophic levels.
Recognize that in an ecosystem, energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, such as from producers (plants) to primary consumers (herbivores), and so on.
Recall the '10% Rule' in ecology, which states that typically only about 10% of the energy at one trophic level is transferred to the next level. This is due to energy losses primarily through metabolic processes as heat.
Consider the options given: 50%, 75%, 25%, and 10%. Based on the '10% Rule', the typical percentage of energy transferred is 10%.
Conclude that the correct answer is 10%, as it aligns with the ecological principle of energy transfer efficiency between trophic levels.
