What is a Food chain?

A Food chain may be defined as the systematic transfer of energy from producers to consumers through a series of organisms.

Producers produce 100% of the energy. But according to the 10% law by Lindeman, only 10% of the energy gets transferred to the above trophic level. By this primary consumers receive only 10%, secondary consumers receive 1%, tertiary consumers receive 0.1%, and quaternary consumers receive 0.01%.
