10 % energy is utilized at each trophic level
There is energy loss in heating up the wires in the motor.
The Ten Percent Law refers to the transfer of energy from one trophic level to another.
The ten percent law suggests or implies that exactly 90% of the energy is lost in the transfer at each trophic level, and that only 10% is passed on as useable biological energy.
It is only 10 percent efficient because the majority of the energy is converted to heat and lost to the atmosphere.
Energy, oxygen.
well plankton eats the energy from the sun and that helps it provide oxygen and this is the process of photosynthesis. so really plankton only eats the suns heat and energy.
The transfer of energy is called Energy Transfer
The 10 percent law states that only approximately 10 percent of energy consumed at one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level. The remaining energy is lost as heat or utilized for metabolic processes. This law helps explain why food chains are generally limited in length, as energy becomes increasingly scarce as you move up the trophic levels.
Energy from the sun
puffins eat fish fish eat zoo plankton zoo plankton eat phytoplankton phytoplankton fix nutrients using energy from the sun. puffins eat fish fish eat zoo plankton zoo plankton eat phytoplankton phytoplankton fix nutrients using energy from the sun. puffins eat fish fish eat zoo plankton zoo plankton eat phytoplankton phytoplankton fix nutrients using energy from the sun.
No, plankton do not eat ocean plants. Plankton eat phytoplankton, and phytoplankton use photosynthesis to retrieve energy from the sun.
