What proportion of energy in a rose plant with a biomass of 600 gm2 is transferred to a greenfly with a biomass of 50 gm2?
Assuming 10% energy transfer efficiency between trophic levels, the greenfly would receive approximately 60 gm^2 of energy (10% of the rose plant's biomass). This is calculated by multiplying the biomass of the rose plant (600 gm^2) by the energy transfer efficiency (10%).

The aphids lust of plant matter can make them a pest to many horticulturists.So, in short, Greenfly eat plants.To be more precise they take in the sap from the plant. Sap is full of sugars, minerals and goodies that the plant would otherwise use to grow. So when this is diverted to make the greenfly grow the plant suffers.A couple of interesting points: greenfly are a major source of food for ladybirds and also blue-tits ... and ... they don't actually suck, they just insert their needle like mouths into a stem and the pressure in the stem forces the sap into their bodies!
