The rate of energy transfer in an ecosystem is very low, and approximately only 10% of the energy is passed on from one trophic level to another. This is because most of the energy is already used up by the organism before it is passed on to the next one. It is used for life processes, digestion, movement, excretion, growth and transpiration for plants.
This also explains why there are rarely more than 4-5 links in a food chain, as the higher the trophic level, the less the energy received so organisms at the top of trophic levels will have to feed on a large number of organisms in order to obtain the amount of energy required.

Which UK financial institutions offer a low interest balance transfer rate?
UK financial institutions that offers a low interest balance transfer rate include ANZ, BankWest, and Citibank. Many of these financial institutions also offer interest free deals for a certain amount of time.
What does an insulator do to the rate of heat transfer?
It reduces the rate of transfer.
What is the transfer rate of FPM-Ram?
The transfer rate of Fpm is 320MBps.
What is the actual speed of data transfer on a network?
less than the data transfer rate
How do you find the transfer time if you have the transfer rate and file size?
File size = transfer rate x transfer timeThe time unit of the transfer rate and the transfer time must be the same measurement - that is, if the rate is some KB per second, then the transfer time must be in the unit of second as well

How does temperature affect the rate of heat transfer?
For conductive and convective heat transfer, the rate of heat transfer is proportional to the the temperature difference; if you double the difference you will double the rate of heat transfer. For radiative heat transfer, the rate of heat transfer is proportional to the difference of the 4th powers of the absolute temperatures.
Is a path for the transfer of matter and energy through an ecosystem by eating and being eaten.?
Biochemical cycles are the main means of energy transfer through an ecosystem. The transfer of energy by eating and being eaten is called the food chain.
Can you transfer a balance on one credit card to another with a lower interest rate?
If you have good credit, you can transfer your balance from one credit card to another one with a lower rate. You should be aware, though, that low introductory rates may expire after some period of time.
