Comprehension for (Q.No.72 to Q.No.74)
About 1% of the total sun's energy reaching the earth is used up by the
plants in the process of photosynthesis and stored as chemical energy of food. There is a
continuous transfer of energy from one trophic level of organisms to the next in a food
chain (producer to herbivore to carnivore and so on). At each trophic level, some of the
energy is utilized by the organisms for their metabolic activities like respiration and
growth. A part of the energy is lost at each energy transfer in various tropic levels. The
amount of energy available gradually decreases. Only 10% of the energy entering a
particular trophic level of organisms is available for transfer to the next higher trophic
level. The flow of energy is in single direction because the energy lost as heat from the
living organisms of a food chain cannot be reused by plants in photosynthesis.

The eukaryotes include all the protists, plants, animals and fungi. In eukaryotic cells
there is an extensive compartmentalization of cytoplasm through the presence of
membrane bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells possess an organised nucleus with a
nuclear envelope. In addition, eukaryotic cells have a variety of complex locomotory and
cytoskeletal structures. Their genetic material is organised into chromosomes. All
eukaryotic cells are not identical. Plant and animal cells are different as the former
