What is the 10% rule? the 10 percent rule states that when an organism/species is consumed by another organism/species of higher trophic level, the latter (discards, stores, transforms) only 10% of energy. the rest of the energy is lost during energy transfer, or transformed as (perspiration, waste, respiration), or lost to incomplete digestion by species of a higher trophic level. this is for plato btw : ) & i'll give brainliest!

The 10% rule is - only 10 percent of the total energy stored as biomass in a trophic level is passed from one trophic level to the next trophic level.

Thus, The 10% rule is - only 10 percent of the total energy stored as biomass in a trophic level is passed from one trophic level to the next trophic level.

An ecologist, Raymond Lindeman, introduced the ten percent rule in 1942. It is not an exact rule but rather a rule of thumb. It states that that when an organism/species is consumed by another organism/species of higher trophic level, only ten percent of energy is stored by the higher trophic one. The rest of the energy is lost during energy transfer; or transformed as respiration; or lost due to incomplete digestion.
