Can some energy is lost during every transfer or conversion.?
Usually some energy is wasted, yes. Energy is not "lost" in the sense of conservation of energy; energy is always conserved. However, useful energy gets converted into unusable energy all the time.
What two ideas about energy were lost when the caloric idea was abandoned?
The storage and transfer of energy
Is energy lost during evaporation?
no
How do organisms transfer energy?
Food energy flows from one organism to the next and to the next and so on, with some energy being lost at each level. Organisms in a food chain are grouped into tropic levels, based on how many links they are removed from the primary producers. In tropic levels there may be one species or a group of species with the same predators and prey.
When energy is converted from one form to another some is lost as what?
During respiration some energy is lost as heat. This best describes the second law of thermodynamics, which states that "Some useful energy is lost as heat whenever an energy transfer occurs".
Why does productivity diminish with increase trophic levels?
Due to poor trophic transfer efficiency, most energy is lost at higher trophic levels.
Define the 10 percent law that describes energy transfer between organisms?
The 10 percent law states that only approximately 10 percent of energy consumed at one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level. The remaining energy is lost as heat or utilized for metabolic processes. This law helps explain why food chains are generally limited in length, as energy becomes increasingly scarce as you move up the trophic levels.
What model shows the amount of energy lost during transference between trophic levels?
Food Web
Which term best describes energy transfer between trophic levels?
when energy is transferred to a higher trophic level some of the energy is trued into heat and is released
Can some energy is lost during every transfer or conversion.?
Usually some energy is wasted, yes. Energy is not "lost" in the sense of conservation of energy; energy is always conserved. However, useful energy gets converted into unusable energy all the time.
Where is energy lost between trophic level?
Yes some energy is lost in each energy transfer reaction ,it is due to second law of thermodynamics .no energy transfer can be 100% efficient .
When energy is transferred between trophic levels the amount of available energy lost is about?
9o% of energy is lost at each level
What is a lossless transmission line?
A lossless transmission line is when no energy is lost during transmission of energy from a particular source to destination by a certain material, ie. copper wire. In other words, this material that transmits energy, absorbs none of the energy transmitted. No energy is lost to the material during transfer of energy. It is like saying it is an absolutely perfect conductor having no resistance.
What two ideas about energy were lost when the caloric idea was abandoned?
The storage and transfer of energy
What percentage of energy is lost in each trophic transfer?
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.
How much energy is lost as energy moves up trophic levels?
10 percent
Why doesnt the energy from a producer all transfer to the secondary consumer?
Not all the energy from a producer transfer to a secondary consumer because some of this energy is lost along the way.
