It in takes 10% of the energy from the lower trophic level organism.


How is energy is transferred through trophic levels?

Trophic levels are the positions of organisms in a food chain. Energy is transferred through the trophic levels through ingestion at each level.


True or false on average about 50 percent of the energy available within on trophic level is transferred to the next trophic livel?

No. About TEN (10) percent of the energy available within one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level the rest of it is used to grow and develop, except in plants because plants use 100% or close to 100% of the sun's energy to grow and develop.


What is an organism's relative position in a sequence of energy transfers in a food chain or food pyramid?

What is an organisms position in a sequence of energy transfers?

An organism's trophic level is its position in a sequence of energy transfers. It is the organism's position in a food chain.


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.


If the 1st trophic level has 10000 kilocalories of energy how much energy will be available for trophic levels 2-4?

One million calories .


Besides energy what moves through the organism at each trophic level of an ecosystem?

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.


What percent of the energy available within on trophic level is transferred to organisms at the next trophic level when they are eaten?

1%
