In, say, a food web??
Depends. There is always a portion of the potential energy which is lost as heat to the surrounding area, through excretion etc. So really it depends on the amount of energy received and then lost...impossible to tell without these values unfortunately.
im not positive but i think it is about 25%
10 percent of the suns energy is passed down from each organism. it is passed down by an organism eating another.
I DO NOT KNIOW
Because of the second law of thermodynamics, which states that each time energy is converted from one form to another, some of the energy is always degraded to a lower quality, more dispersed, less useful form and that no system can convert energy from one form to another useful form with 100% efficiency.
Only about 10% of energy is passed on through each energy level. The rest is used or is wasted as heat.
10% of the energy is passed on each trophic level. the other 90% goes out through heat.

only 1-tenth it's in a 5th grade textbook

The exact details will surely vary from one organism to another, but in general, most of the energy is eventually converted to heat. A small amount may be stored as an energy reserve, for example as sugar, or as fatty tissue.
