Why does the number of trophic levels in the grazing food chain is restricted ?

1. As the transfer of energy follows 10 per cent law

2. So that food chain remains short

3. As there are few species the community

4. So that transfer of energy could be more efficient.

What does 10 per cent law say?

1. Less than 10 per cent of the energy is transferred to each trophic level from the lower trophic level
2. Only 10 per cent of the energy is transferred to each trophic level from the lower trophic level
3. Only 10 per cent of the energy is assimilated from the eaten food
4. Consumer gains 10 per cent mass of the consumed food
