How does the 10 percent rule apply to the food chain?
in a food chain, energy transfers from one level to another. The 10% rule says that 10% of energy is transfered from one level to another because the rest of the energy is being used by the organism.
Yes corn is an autotrophic plant. Autotrophic organisms are able to produce their own food using light energy from the sun water and carbon dioxide. Corn is an example of an autotrophic organism because it can make its own food from these sources. It does so by using a process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis corn takes in carbon dioxide and water and uses the energy of the sun in order to produce glucose which it uses as a source of energy.
Typically, around 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, with the rest being lost as heat. The energy not transferred is usually used for metabolic processes, growth, and reproduction by the organisms in each trophic level.

What will happen if the insects if the lizard increase?
The lizard usually eat insects, so the lizard is the predator while the insects are the prey. This is about the food chain symbiosis balance and there's an interdependence between these 2 animals. The insects should be there to help feed the lizards as their primary food source, and the lizards should also be there to help control the insects population from exploding.
If the lizard population increase, what'll happen is that the insects population will decrease. That's because more lizards mean more insects will get eaten, which can cause a decrease to their population.
The food chain within a desert usually follows a sequence of plants, herbivores, and then carnivores. An example of this is a mule deer that eats plants, while the mountain lion eats the mule deer for their survival.
Sap describes what flatid leaf bugs eat. The insects in question (Flatidae insect family) have special mouthparts for handling internal plant liquids.
