Which term best describes energy transfer between trophic levels?
when energy is transferred to a higher trophic level some of the energy is trued into heat and is released
Why is so little of the energy from one trophic level transferred up to the next trophic level?
All of the energy that enters an organism is not available to the next trophic level. This is because while the organism has the energy they use most of the energy up before the next level eats that level.
Two reasons for low rate of energy transfer within ecosystems?
1. some of the organisms in a trophic level excape being eaten, so they die and decompose, therefore their energy does not pass to a height trophic level. 2. most energy is not transferred because it is lost as heat.
Why are there fewer organisms in the higher trophic levels than the lower trophic levels?
the temperature is higher and in generally the conditions of life is much easier... There are also many atmospheric and oceanic phenomena participating in making the environment much more friendly than any other geographic level. and of course, cause they're near me :)
What percentage of energy is lost in each trophic transfer?
The ten percent law suggests or implies that exactly 90% of the energy is lost in the transfer at each trophic level, and that only 10% is passed on as useable biological energy.
Because of the constant loss of energy, there can be a maximum of 7trophic levels in a food chain,TRUEFALSE?
True
Why can each trophic level support only about one tenth the amount of living tissue of the level below?
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.

Is about 50 percent of the energy available within one trophic level transferred to 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.
What trophic level must have more of than others?
:) The 1st trophic level has more energy. The first trophic level consists of producers(plants and algae). They has more energy because they create their own food (photosynthesis). Hope this answer helps :)
What is primarily responsible for limiting the number of trophic levels in most eco systems?
The maximum number of trophic levels in an ecosystem could be limited by factors such as climate and carrying capacity.
Why is so little of the energy from one trophic level transferred up to the next trophic level?
All of the energy that enters an organism is not available to the next trophic level. This is because while the organism has the energy they use most of the energy up before the next level eats that level.
The maximum energy of a photon is expressed as?
The maximum energy of a photon is often expressed as Planck's Law or constant. It is also referred to as "h" and is used in quantum mechanics as well.
True or false on average about 50 percent of the energy available within on trophic level is transferred to the next trophic livel?
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.
Why are producers not considered a trophic level?
Producers aren't really a trophic level because they are producers. A trophic pyramid consists of consumers and the levels of energy between them. Since producers don't actually eat anything they are on the bottom.
Of energy gained compare to the amount of energy lost as heat at the second through fourth trophic levels?
As you climb trophic levels the general amount of energy lost is 90% so you get about 1/10 of the energy that was consumed by the animal per trophic level.
