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.

How does atom transfer from one organism to another?
Energy and matter are transferred from one organism to another at the microscopic level.
What is transferred from organism to organism in a food chain?
energy is transferred from on animal to the other animal. Because energy can't be destroyed only transferred
How is energy transferred from producer to consumer?
Well, first the energy will start from the sun and the plant will turn the light energy into chemical energy, then an organism will eat this plant. Now since every time an organism consumes another organism or plant it will only be able to absorb 10% of its energy. Then the cycle will continue until the top carnivore dies and the decomposes absorb the energy and start the cycle over.
Which kind of diagram shows how much energy passes along as one organism consumes another?
I DO NOT KNIOW
How much energy is transferred from one organism to the next in a food chain or a food web?
10 percent of the suns energy is passed down from each organism. it is passed down by an organism eating another.
How is energy transferred from one organism to another organism?
Energy is transferred from one organism to another in the form of sugars, which an organism breaks down for energy.
Describe how energy is transferred from one organism to another?
Each time one organism eats another organism, a transfer of energy occurs.
Explain how energy is transferred through a food chain?
Energy is transferred through a food chain when an organism eats another organism. As the food chain progresses, less energy is available when an organism is consumed.
How does atom transfer from one organism to another?
Energy and matter are transferred from one organism to another at the microscopic level.
What is the significance of the energy pyramids shape?
To show how energy is transferred from one organism to another.

What is an organism called that obtains energy from the food consumes?
heterotroph
Why is there less energy transfered from one organisim to another?
less energy is transferred from one organism to another organism because some of the energy is lost in digesting the food material and to the environment as heat i.e. in keeping the body warm.
How much energy is transferred from one organism to the next in a food chain or a food web?
10 percent of the suns energy is passed down from each organism. it is passed down by an organism eating another.
