How much energy that is in one tropic level will appear in the next tropic level?
Only 10% of the energy will appear in the next tropic level.
Why is imposible to have many tropic levels?
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.
What tropic level has the most energy to pass along?
the equator
Why is so much energy lost and where does it go in tropic levels?
In higher tropic levels, energy is lost because of the higher area of living. Metabolic activity is something else that plays a big part in the loss of energy at the tropic level.
What tropic level is able to convert solar energy into chemical energy?
The base level or the lowest level uses sunlight. These are plants, trees, grasses and shrubs.
An organism positioned in the sequence of energy transfered in an ecosystem is known as its?

To what does the tropic level of an animal refer?

What proportion of energy is transferred from one tropic level to the next?

How much energy is lost when you move from one tropic level to the next?
42 neons of energy, when mixed with sound waves
Why toxins increase in concentration at each successive tropic level ina food chain?
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.
