The level in a food web with the highest amount of total available energy is the producer. The producer is a photosynthetic organism that can harness the energy from light that generally comes from the sun. As the energy is passed from trophic level to trophic level, only about 10-20% of the energy is passed on, while the rest is lost as heat. For instance, if a producer had a total energy amount of 60 kj/m2yr, then the primary consumer would only be able to gain 6-12 kj/m2yr.

Which trophic level contains the most available food energy?
On an ecological pyramid or in a food chain, typically, the highest trophic levels have the least amount of energy from the sun available for the next highest level. In a typical food chain, this would be the tertiary consumer level.
What food is at the top of the food chain with the highest level of toxic chemicals?
Humans.
What level of the food chain has the most energy?
Producers
What food is at the top of the food chain with the highest level of toxic contaminants?
hot dogs
What shows the decrease of energy at each level of a food chain?
an energy pyramid
Loss of energy in the food chain limits the amount of what?
Energy that can be transfered to the next level
How is energy transferred through a food web and food chain using law of conversation of energy?
In a food chain and food web the energy is getting reused by the next level so the energy is not being created or distorted, just reused.
What percentage of energy at any level of a food chain is oassed on to the next higher level?
About 10%
What does a consumer in a food chain depende on for energy?
A consumer depends on the trophic level below it for energy.
What does a consumer in a food chain depend in for energy?
A consumer depends on the trophic level below it for energy.
What is an organism's relative position in a sequence of energy transfers in a food chain or food pyramid?
Trophic level
What happens to the stored energy that does not advance from one level of the food chain to the next.?
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.
