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.

If the 1st trophic level has 10000 kilocalories of energy how much energy will be available for trophic levels 2-4?
One million calories .
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.
If 100 percent of the energy is available at the trophis level what percentage of the total energy is available at the highest trophic level?
primary producerIf I'm correct it's approximately 0.1 percent ( 0.001)
A category of living things that is defined by how they gain energy is called?
trophic level
How are trophic level efficiency measured?
Trophic level efficiency is the ratio of production of one trophic level to the production of the next lower trophic level. This efficiency is never high.
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.
What percent of the energy available within on trophic level is transferred to organisms at the next trophic level when they are eaten?
1%
Is about 50 percent of the energy available within one trophic level transferred to the next trophic level?
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.
Why does only a small fraction of the energy at one trophic level become available to the next trophic level?
About 10% of the energy in the lower trophic level is passed to the next higher level. The 80% of energy that is left is used by that lower level for life processes or is lost as waste.
What trophic level in community has the most available energy?
primary producer
If the 1st trophic level has 10000 kilocalories of energy how much energy will be available for trophic levels 2-4?
One million calories .
How much energy moves from one trophic level to the next?
Only 10% moves up...my daughter is writing a paper on this now!
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.
Explain why only 10 percent of the engery available at one trophic level is transferred to the next higher trophic level?
between each tier of the energy pyramid, energy is lost as heat
What energy is available each step up the pyramid?
Ten percent of the energy in each trophic level makes it to the next level.
What does available energy do at each successive trophic level in an ecosystem?
