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.
What happened to the energy that is not passed from an eaten organism to an eating organism?

How is energy passed through an ecosystem?
Energy is passed through an ecosystem through the organisms within it. The sun produces all energy within an ecosystem. As the sun produces energy, it is absorbed by the producers (plants) through photosynthesis. These plants are then consumed by other organisms. The energy decreases by 10% as it is being passed from organism to organism. For example, if grass is the producer it absorbs 100% of the energy from the sun. This grass is then consumed by a small herbivore, which receives only 10% of the original energy. Where does the energy go? The energy has been lost through heat, and it was also used to live, grow, and reproduce.
What percentage of the energy in the trees is passed on as food for the carnivores?
The general estimation is 10% energy per digestion, so 10% of 10% is 1% passed on to carnivores.
What process is water from a lake changes to the gas state?
An energy pyramid illustrates that energy in the form of ________ is lost to the surroundings as it is passed from one organism to the next?
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.
Biologists estimate that on average percent of the plants accumulated energy is passed on to the bodies of the organism that eats it?
10%
What form of energy is passed along from organism to organism in a food chain?
Chemical
What happens to the other 90 percent of energy and in what form does it re-enter the environment?
When energy is passes between tiers only ten percent of the energy is passed on. The other 90 percent is used by the previous organism and it re-enters the environment from the sun.

How is energy passed from organisms?
it isn't the organism is the enery
Is energy passed from one organism to another through sunlight?
Yes, Energy is passed from one to another through sunlight! Thx!!
How does energy flow through food chains in the rock pool?
Energy and nutrients are passed from organism to organism, through the food chain as one organism, eats another.
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 is energy passed from one organism to the next?
the energy value decreases because it's used by the organism in order to survive before it can be passed on It depends on what kind of energy. Kenetic energy will transfer from organism to another in the same way any other object transfers its motion energy. Spiritual energy can be transfered to the second organism, and yet, be retained by the first. The same can be said for emotional energy. By jack phillips
What happens to energy and matter when an organism is eaten?
The chemical energy of the animal who was eaten is passed on to the animal who ate the other animal.
