Why only a small amount of the energy stored in food is available for the next organism in a food chain?
The energy stored in food is lost as heat during metabolism, movement, and other activities by the organism. This limits the amount of energy that can be passed on to the next organism in the food chain. As a result, only about 10% of the energy is transferred to the next trophic level, leading to a decrease in available energy as you move up the food chain.
Why is osmosis an example of passive transport and not active transport?
passive transport does not require energy eg. diffusion and osmosis. Therefore, osmosis is a passive transport. Active transport requires energy eg. a molecule going from a low concentration from a high concentration.
What determines whether or not a substance will be actively transported through a cell membrane?
Active transport can only occur at intact, closed membranes. Such membranes can envelop very different compartments, like the whole cell, vesicles, the vacuole, the mitochondrial matrix, the inner thylacoid space of the chloroplasts, etc.
What happens as you move up energy the pyramid?
Basically only 1/10 of the energy from the previous organism is absorbed into the body of the consumer while the other 9/10 is burned up when used for energy by the previous organism. If there is some grass with 100 energy and it gets eaten by a herbivore, the herbivore only receives 10% of the ORIGINAL energy (so the herbivore will have 10 energy.) The animal that will eat the herbivore will only receive 1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source. The next consumer of the previous organism will only get 0.1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source and so on.
Carrier molecules in the plasma membrane are only required for active transport?
Carrier molecules in the plasma membrane are actually used for both active and passive transport of molecules. In active transport, carrier proteins use energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while in passive transport, carrier proteins facilitate the movement of molecules down their concentration gradient without the need for energy input.
What are two differences between active transport and passive transport in terms of energy?
Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP to move molecules across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and relies on the concentration gradient to move molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Additionally, active transport can move molecules in both directions across the membrane, while passive transport can only move molecules down the concentration gradient.
Does passive transport requires large amounts of energy?
No. only active transport does
Why only certain organism can change solar energy into chemical energy?
because you are gay
What is transferred from organism to organism in a food chain?
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.
What is the only type of cell transport that requires energy?

Why can't all energy be passed on to high levels of the food chain?
This is related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.To be more specific, in this case, only a small fraction of an energy an organism obtains are stored in the fruits or roots of a plant, or in an animal's muscles (meat). The organism uses a lot of energy for its own maintenance; only a small part can therefore be stored.This is related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.To be more specific, in this case, only a small fraction of an energy an organism obtains are stored in the fruits or roots of a plant, or in an animal's muscles (meat).

What does NOT provide energy for human use?
Everything can somehow provide energy, except for black holes, which only suck up energy.
Why not all energy in an organism is transferred to the next organism?
Not all energy is transferred to the next organism due to inefficiencies in energy transfer along the food chain. Energy is lost as heat through metabolic processes, digestion, and other biological functions. Only a portion of the energy consumed by an organism is converted into biomass that can be passed on to the next trophic level.
When one organism eats another organism how much of the energy from the organism consumed is actually available to the consumer?
only 1-tenth it's in a 5th grade textbook
What is difference between active transport and passive transport?
One difference is energy consumption. Active transport requires the cell to expend energy, while passive transport does not. Active transport is movement from a lower concentration to a higher concentration and passive transport is movement from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane requiring energy to be expended by the cell. Passive transport is diffusion across a membrane requiring only random motion of molecules with no energy expanded by the cell. Active transport requires ATP to transport materials. Passive transport does not require ATP input to transport materials. Ex: diffusion
Which organism get energy and nutrients by eating only other consumers?
Amoebae and paramecia
What absorbes energy to make food from the sun?
This is called photosynthesis, the only organism that is able to do this is a plant. plants are called producers because their the only organism to make their own food.
