On an ecological pyramid or in a food chain, typically, the highest trophic levels have the least amount of energy from the sun available for the next highest level. In a typical food chain, this would be the tertiary consumer level.
The lowest level of the energy pyramid that contains carnivores is the third trophic level. These carnivores consume herbivores from the second trophic level that feed on producers at the first trophic level.
Only about 10% of the energy is transferred between trophic levels, so if 100% is available at the lowest trophic level, then only about 10% of the original energy is available at the highest trophic level.

Energy in the trophic level is lost through heat production during metabolic processes such as respiration, movement, and growth. This heat is released into the environment, resulting in a decrease in available energy for the next trophic level.
No. About TEN (10) percent of the energy available within one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level the rest of it is used to grow and develop, except in plants because plants use 100% or close to 100% of the sun's energy to grow and develop.
The lowest level of the energy pyramid that contains carnivores is the third trophic level. These carnivores consume herbivores from the second trophic level that feed on producers at the first trophic level.
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level. The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.
Only about 10% of the energy is transferred between trophic levels, so if 100% is available at the lowest trophic level, then only about 10% of the original energy is available at the highest trophic level.
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level (from all the activity done by that level, e.g., running, climbing, fighting) . The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.

As you move up the energy pyramid from trophic level to trophic level, around 10% of the energy is transferred from one level to the next. This means that only 10% of the energy is available to the next trophic level, with the remaining 90% being lost as heat or used by the organism for its own metabolism.
No. About TEN (10) percent of the energy available within one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level the rest of it is used to grow and develop, except in plants because plants use 100% or close to 100% of the sun's energy to grow and develop.
About 10% of the energy in the lower trophic level is passed to the next higher level. The 80% of energy that is left is used by that lower level for life processes or is lost as waste.

Energy in the trophic level is lost through heat production during metabolic processes such as respiration, movement, and growth. This heat is released into the environment, resulting in a decrease in available energy for the next trophic level.
Energy is lost as heat during metabolic processes, limiting the amount of energy transferred to the next trophic level. Additionally, not all organisms at a lower trophic level are consumed by organisms at the next trophic level, further reducing energy transfer efficiency. This results in only about 10% of the energy being transferred to the next trophic level.
