The other 90% that is not transferred is used by the organism to be used for respiration, reproduction, digestion, and movement

∙ 14y agoIf a photon's energy is insufficient to cause an electronic change in a molecule/atom, then one of two things may happen:
- The light may not interact with the molecule/atom
- If it is interacting with a molecule, the photon may cause a different kind of energy level promotion (it may increase the translation, rotational, or vibrational energy levels, all of which require a smaller amount of energy. Combinations of promotions (eg. vibrational energy level changing from 0 to 1, and rotational energy level changing from 0 to 3) are also possible.

What proportion of energy is transferred from one tropic level to the next?
10 PERCENT
How much energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next?
between 5-20%
What is the percent of energy thaT is passed on from one trophic level to the next?
Only about 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to another.
What happens to the 90 percent of energy that does not transfer to the next trophic level in a food chain?
it gets lost through each trophic level while only the other 10% moves on..
Why is so little of the energy from one trophic level transferred up to the next trophic level?
All of the energy that enters an organism is not available to the next trophic level. This is because while the organism has the energy they use most of the energy up before the next level eats that level.
How much energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next What happens to the energy not transferred?
i think 10%
Approximately what percentage of energy is transferred from one level of an energy pyramid to the next higher level?
10% is transferred
Is about half the energy from one level transferred to the next?
No, only about 10-20% of an organism's energy is passed on to the next level of the food chain.
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.
What proportions of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next in an 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.
How does energy move from one level to the next?
Energy is transferred from one level to the next as organisms are consumed. The transfer is inefficient as 90% of the stored energy is lost as heat when that stored energy is burned.
What proportion of energy is transferred from one tropic level to the next?
10 PERCENT
What percent of the energy available within on trophic level is transferred to organisms at the next trophic level when they are eaten?
1%
How much energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next?
between 5-20%
What happens with the energy that is not transferred from one trophic level to the next?
Those energy that are not transferred to ATP loss as heat.
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.
