Energy efficiency as it flows from a lower to a higher trophic level?

Not all the energy is past on to the different tohpic levels, energy is lost through respiration, movement, feaces, decomposition, keeping warm and growth. Some amount of energy is also in the bones of the organisms because they are not eaten.

What is the percentage if energy flow from one trophic leak to another?
The amount of energy that flows from one level to the next is ONE perecent.
How is energy lost between producers and herbivores?
As energy flows through the food chain, 90% of the energy is lost at each trophic level and 10% is passed on.
What is flow of energy in ecosystem?
Energy flows from one trophic level to the next (Producer->Primary Consumer->Secondary Consumer). Energy transfer becomes less efficient as it's being transferred; seeing as it is partly used by the organism for metabolic processes.
What is the name for thermal energy that is transfered only from a higher temperature to a lower temperature?
All thermal energy flows from high temperature objects to low temperature objects. This is the nature of thermal energy.
What happens to the amount of energy that is transferred from one trophic level to the next?
At the base of the food chains lies the primary producers. Primary producers are principally green plants and certain bacteria. They convert solar energy into organic energy. Above the primary producers are the consumers who ingest live plants or the prey of others. Decomposers, such as, bacteria, molds, and fungi make use of energy stored in already dead plant and animal tissues.
What variables always decreases as it flows through the trophic levels?
Energy

What is energy that flows from higher temperatures to lower temperatures?
Heat.
What is energy that flows from an object with higher temperature to an object with lower temperature?
Heat energy.

Thermal energy that flows from higher temperatures to lower temperatures?
heat
What is Thermal energy that flows from higher temperatures to lower temperature?
Heat.
Thermal energy flows from what to what?
Higher temperature to lower temperature. Thermal energy will always flow down the energy gradient.
Is energy that flows from an object with a higher temperature to an object with a lower temperature?
heat
