What else can I help you with?
Why does each level in a food chain contains less energy than the level below?
Each level in a food chain contains less energy because energy is lost as heat through metabolic processes like respiration and digestion as it moves up the chain. This means that less energy is available for transfer to the next level.
How is energy transferred through a food web and food chain using law of conversation of energy?
Energy is transferred through a food web and food chain as animals consume each other in a linear fashion. The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred. Therefore, energy moves through the food chain as it is absorbed by organisms at each trophic level and passed on to the next, with some energy lost as heat in each transfer.
How does the energy in a food chain transfer?
Energy in a food chain transfers from one organism to another through the consumption of food. Each time an organism consumes another organism, it gains energy stored in the food consumed. This transfer is not 100% efficient, as some energy is lost as heat at each trophic level.
What is a food chain level?
A food chain runs off of different levels - each having one living organism in it, per food chain. The levels indicate a section where energy is used up by an organism - namely the one that attained the energy.
Transfer of food energy from one source to another in stages is called what?
The transfer of food energy from one organism to another in stages is called a food chain. In a food chain, energy is passed from producers (plants) to primary consumers (herbivores) to secondary consumers (carnivores) and so on. Each transfer of energy represents a trophic level in the ecosystem.
What shows the decrease of energy at each level of a food chain?
an energy pyramid
What do you lose at each step of a food chain?
Some energy is lost at each level since not all energy is transferred from the food to the consumer.
What pyramid represents the amount of energy or matter that exists in each level of a food chain?
a food web
Why does each level in a food chain contains less energy than the level below?
Each level in a food chain contains less energy because energy is lost as heat through metabolic processes like respiration and digestion as it moves up the chain. This means that less energy is available for transfer to the next level.
What percentage of energy is lost at each level in a food chain?
I dont know thats why i asked!

What are energy pyramids?
Energy pyramids are graphical representations of the flow of energy within an ecosystem. They show how energy is transferred from one trophic level to another, with each level representing a different position in the food chain. Typically, energy pyramids show that energy is lost as heat at each trophic level, resulting in less energy being available at higher levels.
What is a food chain level?
A food chain runs off of different levels - each having one living organism in it, per food chain. The levels indicate a section where energy is used up by an organism - namely the one that attained the energy.
Does the bottom of the food chain have the least or most energy?
By bottom, do you mean where the food chain starts(with plants) then YES :) only 10% passes on to each level :)
How much energy is passed from one level to the next in a food chain food web or energy pyramid?
In a food chain or energy pyramid, approximately 10% of the energy from one trophic level is transferred to the next level. This is known as the 10% rule, which reflects the energy lost through metabolic processes, heat, and waste at each level. As a result, energy diminishes significantly as it moves up the food chain, leading to fewer organisms that can be supported at higher trophic levels.
What is a series of events in which one organism eats another and obtains energy?
A series of events in which one organism eats another to obtain energy is known as a food chain. Each level in a food chain represents a trophic level, with energy transferred from one level to the next as organisms are consumed.
