Yes, because a food chain may contain as many organisms as needed or observed.
No. That would be in a food web.
yes :)
90% is used by the organism, 10% is transferred to the successive organism.
10 percent of the suns energy is passed down from each organism. it is passed down by an organism eating another.
Unfortunately for later members in the food chain, only 10% of the energy of the organism that they ate is absorbed an usable by the consumer.
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.
No, only about 10-20% of an organism's energy is passed on to the next level of the food chain.
Well think about it. If only 10 percent energy goes around. Do the math
Heat, Food, Energy are some ways energy are lost at each level of the food chain.
How much food chain energy is passes from one trophic level to the next, tell you in percents
Energy. In general, only about 10% of the energy available is able to be passed up the food chain.
ORIGINAL ANSWER: through the process called decomposition which breaks down the animals cells through cellular respiration and the mitochondria oxygen. ^ l l this answer might be right but if i were you i would do some further research and see if this is correct NEW ANSWER: energy moves through an ecosystem when an organism is eaten. As you go up each trophic level, 10% of energy is transferred up. Matter on the other hand, is neither lost or gained. so it just moves up the trophic levels
you call it a producer(i am 10!)
Well, plants get they`re energy from the sun to carry out they`re daily functions, such as growing, making seeds, and producing glucose( sugar) for food. They use about 90% of the energy from the sun for daily life. But the left over 10% is given to the organism that eats the plant. Energy Pyramids are a way of showing how energy moves from organism to organism. From producers (plants) to primary consumers (herbivores) to secondary consumers (carnivores).All in all organisms eat eachother for energy and 10% of energy is transfered to the organism that`s consuming the organism being eaten.
