What is the term for each step in the transfer of energy and matter within a biological community?
transition of an electron from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
Each energy level can hold different number of electrons. The first energy level holds 2, second holds 8, and third holds 8. Because the first two energy levels of sodium can only hold 10 electrons, the sodium has a third energy level to hold the 11th electron.
A pyramid that shows the availability of energy that connects the consumers with the decomposer Shows the energy transfer between tropic levels. (10%) wrong An energy pyramid shows that less and less food and energy is available as you go from the base to the top of the pyramid.
The first energy level can hold 2. The second level can hold 8. The third level can hold 18. Fourth and beyond can hold 32.
Each tropic level is only able to use about 10% of the energy from its food. Because of this energy loss, there is usually not enough energy left to after a fourth tropic level to support anything higher.
The outer energy level is the strongest because it has more electrons in it.

Energy and Sunlight Hope this helps...Kandis J.
With the increase of the tropic level, there is a loss of energy. It is averaged that each organism consumes 10% of the energy from the organism that it eats. Because of this loss of energy, the animals at the higher tropic levels eat more, and hence, eat more toxins. The toxins accumulate in the fat of the animals, and just continue to increase.

The lower region will flow to the higher region as much as possible. The two sides will become equal to each other.in this process.
