Which concept best describes the principle that only about 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next?
A: CONCEPT 55.1 Physical laws govern energy flow and chemical cycling in ecosystems
B: CONCEPT 55.2 Energy and other limiting factors control primary production in ecosystems
C: CONCEPT 55.3 Energy transfer between trophic levels is typically only 10% efficient
D: CONCEPT 55.4 Biological and geochemical processes cycle nutrients and water in ecosystems
Explanation
The concept 'Energy transfer between trophic levels is typically only 10% efficient' directly addresses the 10% rule in energy transfer within ecosystems.
