trees first trap the solar energy.this solar energy passes to the heterotrophs as energy flow ,following the low of Lindeman's 10% law.. animals gets this energy and uses it in various functions like respiration,metabolism,locomotion,reproduction,many physical works etc..

Is more energy lost from an ecosystem when a herbivore eats a plant or when a carnivore eats an animal?
More energy is lost by the Carnivore eating the Herbivore because of the 10% rule. When the Herbivore eats the plant, he gains 10% of the plants energy, but when the Carnivore eats the Herbivore, the Carnivore is getting 10% of the plants 10% from the Herbivore.
What percentage of the total energy taken in by a herbivore is stored in it's tissues?
About 10% of the total energy taken in by an herbivore is stored in its tissues. The rest of the energy is used for growth and development, metabolism, reproduction, and some is given off as heat.
How much energy gets transferred when a herbivore eats a plant?
20%
Who will spend more energy to find food herbivore or a carnivore?
Herbivores. In a food chain, energy is passed from one link to another. When a herbivore eats, only a fraction of the energy (that it gets from the plant food) becomes new body mass; the rest of the energy is lost as waste or used up by the herbivore to carry out its life processes (e.g., movement, digestion, reproduction). Therefore, when the herbivore is eaten by a carnivore, it passes only a small amount of total energy (that it has received) to the carnivore.
What happens to most of the energy an herbivore gets from a plant?
The herbivores obtain most of their energy in the form of food from plants.
Is more energy lost from an ecosystem when a herbivore eats a plant or when a carnivore eats an animal?
More energy is lost by the Carnivore eating the Herbivore because of the 10% rule. When the Herbivore eats the plant, he gains 10% of the plants energy, but when the Carnivore eats the Herbivore, the Carnivore is getting 10% of the plants 10% from the Herbivore.
When a herbivore is eaten by a carnivore what percent of energy from the herbivore is transferred to the carnivore?
95%
What happens as you move up energy the pyramid?
Basically only 1/10 of the energy from the previous organism is absorbed into the body of the consumer while the other 9/10 is burned up when used for energy by the previous organism. If there is some grass with 100 energy and it gets eaten by a herbivore, the herbivore only receives 10% of the ORIGINAL energy (so the herbivore will have 10 energy.) The animal that will eat the herbivore will only receive 1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source. The next consumer of the previous organism will only get 0.1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source and so on.
What is the path of energy in food from one organism to another is a?
herbivore
How does a herbivore get the energy it needs to survive?
eating only plants
What organisms get energy from eating plants and other animals?
herbivore
Which types of animals are the most efficient in solar energy?
the animal is an herbivore they live by the solar energy
What percentage of the total energy taken in by a herbivore is stored in it's tissues?
About 10% of the total energy taken in by an herbivore is stored in its tissues. The rest of the energy is used for growth and development, metabolism, reproduction, and some is given off as heat.
Is 10 percent passed from the herbivore?
Approximately 10% of the energy consumed by a herbivore is passed to prey. 90% is used for growth and living.
How much energy gets transferred when a herbivore eats a plant?
20%
What happens to the amount of energy as you go up the energy pyramid?
Basically only 1/10 of the energy from the previous organism is absorbed into the body of the consumer while the other 9/10 is burned up when used for energy by the previous organism. If there is some grass with 100 energy and it gets eaten by a herbivore, the herbivore only receives 10% of the ORIGINAL energy (so the herbivore will have 10 energy.) The animal that will eat the herbivore will only receive 1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source. The next consumer of the previous organism will only get 0.1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source and so on.
What is a nich of a producer?
The niche of a producer is to carry out photosynthesis and get energy then gives that energy to a herbivore. A example of a producer is a plant.
