Why is so much energy lost and where does it go in tropic levels?

In higher tropic levels, energy is lost because of the higher area of living. Metabolic activity is something else that plays a big part in the loss of energy at the tropic level.


Where does energy go when it is transferred?

It is lost as heat.


Where does lost energy in a rheostat go?

It is lost in heating the resistive material of the rheostat.


Why does boby mass decrease in each step of the food chain?

as we go up the food chain, of course, the energy will decrease... it is because, from the primary producer, the primary consumer consumes it until the consumer will become the producer... and the cycle preceeds.. the energy will decrease because of the cycle..


Why does the pendulum not go as high when it swings back Where does lost potential energy go?

Most of it gets lost as friction.


Where does the lost energy go?

energy is never lost. It is either converted from one form of energy to another (from heat to mechanical, from mechanical to electric, from electric to heat).


Where does the energy come from or go to during the different stages of the water cycle?

energy does not go or come from anywhere it is rather transferred from all other objects in the ecosystem


How is waste heat is inevitable in ecosystems?

Energy is neither created nor destroyed by chemical processes, merely transferred. Since energy is also lost every time energy is transferred between organisms, that lost heat must go somewhere. That lost energy becomes waste heat in the environment.

If 2000j of energy is input to the kettle how much energy is output from the kettle?

The total energy in the kettle system will be 2000J. However, the energy will be distributed different ways. Some will go into heating the water, some will go into changing the water into steam (which takes a LOT of energy), and some will be lost as radiant heat energy. The specifics depend on the kettle itself, and how much water you have in the kettle.Changing one milliliter of water by one degree requires 4.186 J of energy, but to convert it into steam requires 2259.36 J per ml


Where does the energy go that is lost in the energy pyramid?

Only the energy stored as biomass (stuff that the next organism up eats and successfully absorbs) makes it up to the next layer of the pyramid. The rest i lost because the animal doing the eating doesn't absorb all of the energy in the food, the animal moves around expending energy, some (quite a lot actually) is lost as heat in warm-blooded animals, etc. In fact very little of the energy absorbed by one layer of the pyramid through eating makes it up to the next layer.


Why is ATP important in photosynthesis?

ATP is used in the Calvin cycle in it's phosphorylation role; transferring phosphate groups to Calvin cycle intermediates that then go through the conformational rearrangements which result in the sugar product, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate that leaves the cycle and the reconstitution of oxaloacete, beginning the cycle again.
