commonly its lost due to friction, and escapes as heat
The stored energy that does not advance from one trophic level of the food chain to the next either disappears into the air or is used by the organism containing it.
It's used up by the metabolism or excreted as waste.
It gets used by the organism that had it before.
It dies.
10 percent of the suns energy is passed down from each organism. it is passed down by an organism eating another.
10% every trophic level. Only 1% of sunlight is passed down however.
It keeps going until the consumer dies and decomposers take it down or when the food chain is removed or added to. It stays the same as long as nothing eats it
No. Electrons gain energy as they move up the chain, i.e. in more outer shells.
the energy of a food chain goes down as it moves up the food chain. so the primary producer has the most energy and the quaternary consumers have the least amount of energy. -kait B :)
High-energy electrons from NADH and FADH2 are passed along the electron transport chain

10 percent of the suns energy is passed down from each organism. it is passed down by an organism eating another.
The electrons are passed down the electron transport chain for use in ATP production.
10% every trophic level. Only 1% of sunlight is passed down however.
The high-energy electrons that are passed to the electron transport chain combine with O2 and H+ ions. This results to the formation of water molecules.
Hydrogen ions are pumped across the mitochondria's inner membrane producing a concentration gradient
chloroplasts in plants; mitochondria in animals
as electrons from the Krebs cycle move down the electron transport chain energy level is reduced.
I dont think the energy can't transfer it will probably be consumed by a scavenger or be chemically borken down by a decomposer.
Aerobic respiration is a cellular level process in which nutrients are changed into energy. The electrons that pass down the electron transport chain react with oxygen (thus, aerobic) and protons to form water.
when a food chain breaks down, the animals above will not have enough food
