How much energy is transferred to each tropic level? Predict the

/1
possible reason for such minute energy flow.

Only 10% of energy is transferred to each tropic level. The

possible reason is that remaining 90% gets wasted in different

activities like respiration, running etc.

(b)

Identify the biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem. Analyse

the link between them for sustainable ecosystem.

The biotic factors of an ecosystem are all the living organisms

/2
that exist in that ecosystem. The non-living parts of an
ecosystem are called abiotic factors. Examples of abiotic factors
include the sun, the air, and water. They both work together to
keep a balance in ecosystem.

(c)
/1

Scientific name of humans are “Homo Sapiens”. Why do you think

this name is given to us?

This name is given for the classification. Every organism that

exists in this world has been classified in their specific groups

according to their mutual characteristics they share.
