1. some of the organisms in a trophic level excape being eaten, so they die and decompose, therefore their energy does not pass to a height trophic level.
2. most energy is not transferred because it is lost as heat.

biological transfer I'm 15 may be wrong but i had this question in biology today this is what i came up with
Producers are the beginning of the chain of energy that travels through the food chain. These are organisms, such as plants, that turn inorganic material into biomass.
The process organisms use to break down food is called metabolism. ATP, the universal energy currency of cells, is used to transfer chemical energy between different chemical reactions.
Energy flows both ways between living systems and the physical environment.
The energy transfers underground by radiation.
What is the term for each step in the transfer of energy and matter within a biological community?
Everything from climate to the food chain affects the efficiency of energy transfer in an ecosystem. The smallest changes, such as an animal becoming extinct, can have a very dramatic impact on the energy within an ecosystem.
Unlike the one way flow of energy, matter is recycled within and between ecosystems.
Conduction :)
yes
Carbon is the medium for energy flow within ecosystems. For instance, carbon dioxide exists within the air. Plants use energy from the sun to separate the carbon and the oxygen. The carbon is used to construct the plant and the oxygen is released into the air. An animal will then breath the oxygen and eat the plant. The animal will then combine the oxygen and carbon to recreate carbon dioxide and will use the energy that is given off to move or perform physical actions. It is a constant cycle that occurs within ecosystems. The sunlight is the source of the energy, and carbon allows the energy to be utilized by plants, then animals and then plants again (with more sunlight).
Unlike the one way flow of energy, matter is recycled within and between ecosystems.

Trophic levels play a significant role in the transfer of energy within food chains and food webs. Each organism has a position n the trophic level and energy is transferred through succession.
