What is the amount of energy available at each level of a food chain?

∙ 14y ago
At each level of the food chain, about 90% of the energy is lost in the form of heat. The total energy passed from one level to the next is only about one-tenth of the energy received from the previous organism.

∙ 12y agowell i learned this in the 5th grade but i am positive this is right the keep dividing the amount of energy by 10 and when you reach the last stage like the bear do not be suprised how little energy they have that's why they eat alot

About 10-20% This is from wikipedia:
It is often the case that the biomass of each trophic level decreases from the base of the chain to the top. This is because energy is lost to the environment with each transfer as entropy increases. About eighty to ninety percent of the energy is expended for the organism's life processes or is lost as heat or waste. Only about ten to twenty percent of the organism's energy is generally passed to the next organism.[13] The amount can be less than one percent in animals consuming less digestible plants, and it can be as high as forty percent in zooplankton consuming phytoplankton.[14] Graphic representations of the biomass or productivity at each tropic level are called ecological pyramids or trophic pyramids. The transfer of energy from primary producers to top consumers can also be characterized by energy flow diagrams

What level is the greatest amount of energy available at?
If you're talking about an energy pyramid, the producers, or plant, level contains the greatest amount of energy.
Which orbital has the least amount of energy?
the innermost energy level has the least amount of energy
Why do electrons jump when heated?
electrons jump energy levels becouse each level has a specific amount of energy needed inorder to be in that level. when an electron gets enough energy it jumps to the next level it can possible be in with that amount of energy.
Explain how energy passes through a food chain?
The first level of the food chain are producers who make their own food from photosynthesis. The herbivores and omnivores eat the first level and convert that energy for use. That level is also eaten by the omnivores and the carnivores who further convert the energy.
Which energy level is the strongest of an atom?
The outer energy level is the strongest because it has more electrons in it.
How much energy is lost by the time time it gets to the consumer from the producer?
Only about 10% of the energy available at one level of the food chain is available for use by organisms in the next level. For example, if you begin with an energy level of 2000, only 200 would be available at the next level, 20 at the next, and 2 at the next.
How does the amount of energy available at one level of an energy pyramid compare to the amount of energy available to the next level?
The most energy is available at the producer level of the pyramid . As you move up the pyramid, each level has less energy available than the level below.
Which trophic level contains the most available food energy?
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.
How much energy gets passed upthe food chain from one level to th next?
The total amount of energy available is reduced from one stage to the next.
What do the three types of ecological pyramids illustrate?
Pyramids of energy show the relative amount of energy available at each trophic level of a food chain or food web. (:
What is a Chart that shows the amount of energy that moves from one level to another in a food chain?
It isn't really a chart. But a pyramid would show the decreasing amount of energy available to those organisms in each level to live, grow and reproduce.
Loss of energy in the food chain limits the amount of what?
Energy that can be transfered to the next level
What level is the greatest amount of energy available at?
If you're talking about an energy pyramid, the producers, or plant, level contains the greatest amount of energy.
What happens to the amount of energy available to each successive trophic level in a food chain?
It decreases because there are less and less animals as you go up.
How does the amount of energy available at one level of an energy pyramid compared to the next level up?
The most energy is available at the producer level of the pyramid . As you move up the pyramid, each level has less energy available than the level below.
What are energy pyramids?
Is a model that shows how much energy is available at each level of a food chain or ecosystem
Does the amount of energy available to each organism in a food chain depends on its position on an energy pyramid?
It's yes. Each level in the pyramid has only ten percent of the level beneath it, so there is less energy transfer as you go up the pyramid. So if at the base, the available energy is 10000 the next step up would have an available energy of 1000, and the next step 100 etc.
