    Solution :

     Food chain is a straight single pathway or sequence of organisms of an ecosystem through which food energy travels in the ecosystem. The maximum energy is found in producers in the food chain. According to Lindeman's law of energy flow, only 10% of the gross productivity of producers is entrapped by herbivores for their metabolism and same  process of energy flow is repeated in higher trophic levels.
