ten percent
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.
On an ecological pyramid or in a food chain, typically, the highest trophic levels have the least amount of energy from the sun available for the next highest level. In a typical food chain, this would be the tertiary consumer level.

between each tier of the energy pyramid, energy is lost as heat
Only 10% moves up...my daughter is writing a paper on this now!
On an ecological pyramid or in a food chain, typically, the highest trophic levels have the least amount of energy from the sun available for the next highest level. In a typical food chain, this would be the tertiary consumer level.
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.
Ten percent of the energy in each trophic level makes it to the next level.
Producers generally have the highest biomass.Producers are photosynthetic organisms in most environments, such as plants and phytoplankton; they support the bottom of the food web and trophic levels.
The trophic level is where an organism falls on the food chain. Most birds fall on the highest level, trophic level 4.
The efficiency at which energy is transferred from one trophic level to another is called ecological efficiency.it is estimated that only a 10 percent of available energy is transferred
