eat another energy pass only 10 percent
Because when you eat you get energy and a food chain tells you which animal eats what
Energy is transferred from organism to organism in a food chain. This energy comes from the sun, is captured by producers (plants), and is passed on to consumers (animals) as they eat other organisms in the chain.
The missing term is "phytoplankton." Phytoplankton are microscopic organisms that form the base of the marine food chain by converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis.
it doesnt receive the least energy per animal but on a whole as a species, the top of the food chain tends to have the smallest population so it doesnt need as much energy to keep on living also only 10% or there abouts of the energy animals lower down on the food chain take in is available through eating them the remainder is spent on living (growth repair reproduction movement) and some is wasted like the energy in bones and fur and what the animal poops out basically hope this helped
The energy decreases as you move step to step in a chain .........................................The first organism (primary consumer) that eats the producer (green plants) will have the most number of energy................................while the last organism in the chain (top predator) will have the least number of energy in the chain.
The role that the consumer in a food chain plays is to take that energy away from that animal by eating it.
they both involve animals eating eachother both have a good concept of how energy is transferred when an animal eats another
The trophic level of an animal refers to its position in a food chain or food web based on its diet and energy source. Animals higher up in the trophic levels depend on consuming other organisms lower in the food chain for energy.
Energy transfers between organisms by making a animal eat a plant which gets it energy so then other animals eat that energy having animal. So that's how energy is transferred between organisms.
because energy has to travel up the food chain, and by the 9th link there is very little energy for the animal to use
There is the food chain sun gives energy to plants through photosynthesis, small animal eg. rabbit eats plants takes the plants energy, bigger animal eg. fox eats rabbit takes rabbits energy bigger animal eats fox this is the foxs' preditor. so the source of energy is the sun because energy is pasted up the food chain.
