The bottom level which contains plants has the most energy. This is because they get their energy directly from the sun while other animals get it from plants themselves, or other animals. Animals cannot absorb 100% of the energy when they eat plants so the level of energy degrades all the way to the top of the food chain. Each animal gets less and less % of the energy the plant had in the first place.

When energy is transferred between trophic levels the amount of available energy lost is about?
9o% of energy is lost at each level
What is trophic mass?
I would assume it to be the amount of mass in a specific trophic level. Thus, the trophic mass pyramid.
How are energy pyramids and trophic level alike?
The trophic levels show which organisms are at each level of the energy pyramid. The pyramid is shaped exactly as a pyramid. The lowest level contains the most energy and the most in number and variation of species. The next level only has 10% of the first levels' energy and fewer species. The amount of energy in the first level determines the number of levels possible. The tropical rain forest has the most levels (as many as 4) and a desert has the fewest (as few as 2). See links below:
Which term best describes energy transfer between trophic levels?
when energy is transferred to a higher trophic level some of the energy is trued into heat and is released
What happens to the biomass of the organism as trophic levels increase?
Energy and biomass decrease as the trophic levels increase.The general rule is that only about 10% of the total energy consumed from the previous trophic level will be passed onto the next level as useable energy. As a result it takes a large biomass of producers (plants) to support the total biomass of primary consumers. The primary consumers use the energy they obtain from the plants to maintain body temperature and move or it is lost as waste. Most energy is considered to be lost as heat. This pattern is repeated for secondary consumers and so on. (This is a generality; the amount of energy transferred changes in real situations.)All life is directly related to the original energy source, in most cases the sun. The higher up you go in the trophic level, the less life (overall biomass) that can be supported by the original energy source due to the loss of energy in each level.
Why can each trophic level support only about one tenth the amount of the living tissue of the level below?
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level. The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.
Why can each trophic level support only about one tenth the amount of living tissue of the level below?
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level (from all the activity done by that level, e.g., running, climbing, fighting) . The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.
Why do different trophic level have different amount of energy?
Some energy transferred at each successive trophic level enters the environment as heat.
Is the greatest amount of energy at the producer level?
yes, we can get the greatest amount of energy at the producer level.
Of energy gained compare to the amount of energy lost as heat at the second through fourth trophic levels?
As you climb trophic levels the general amount of energy lost is 90% so you get about 1/10 of the energy that was consumed by the animal per trophic level.
What level is the greatest amount of energy available at?
If you're talking about an energy pyramid, the producers, or plant, level contains the greatest amount of energy.
What is net production?
net production is the amount of energy left that is in the next trophic level
What proportion of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next in the ecosystem?
Only about ten percent of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next in an ecosystem. This is why the amount of animals in higher levels is smaller.
What proportion of the energy in the ecosystem is transferred from one trophic level to the next?
Only about ten percent of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next in an ecosystem. This is why the amount of animals in higher levels is smaller.

When energy is transferred between trophic levels the amount of available energy lost is about?
9o% of energy is lost at each level
The number of trophic levels in an ecological pyramid?
The number is limited by the amount of energy lost at each trophic level. Most cannot exceed 5.
