The energy transfer from plankton to penguins is typically around 10%. This is consistent with the general ecological rule known as the "10% Rule," which suggests that only about 10% of the energy at one trophic level is passed on to the next level in a food chain. As such, penguins, which feed on fish and other marine organisms that consume plankton, receive a fraction of the energy initially captured by the plankton.
10 % energy is utilized at each trophic level
The Ten Percent Law refers to the transfer of energy from one trophic level to another.
well plankton eats the energy from the sun and that helps it provide oxygen and this is the process of photosynthesis. so really plankton only eats the suns heat and energy.
Energy, oxygen.
The Ten percent law for the transfer of energy from one trophic level to the next was introduced by Lindeman (1942). According to this law, during the transfer of energy from organic food from one trophic level to the next, only about ten percent of the of energy from organic matter is stored as flesh. The remaining is lost during transfer, broken down in respiration, or lost to incomplete digestion by higher trophic levels.
The transfer of energy is called Energy Transfer

Energy from the sun
No, plankton do not eat ocean plants. Plankton eat phytoplankton, and phytoplankton use photosynthesis to retrieve energy from the sun.
This transfer of energy from one organism to another, with approximately 10% efficiency, is known as a trophic transfer or trophic transfer efficiency. This process occurs as energy moves through different trophic levels in a food chain or food web.
Energy from the sun
Plant plankton are called producers because the get energy from the sun and make their own food
