only about 10% of the energy at one trophic level passes to the next.
In simple words: only about 10% of the energy at one trophic level passes to the next. Getting Ten percent law clear matters because NEET questions on Ecosystem & Ecology usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.
