Solar radiation is always hitting the earth. The earth absorbs all kinds of this radiation; plants absorb light, surfaces absorb heat, etc. The earth itself radiates energy back into space, too.

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?

Only about 10% of the energy is transferred between trophic levels, so if 100% is available at the lowest trophic level, then only about 10% of the original energy is available at the highest trophic level.


When a marine animal consumes carbon-containing organisms it typically incorporates about percent of the available organic carbon for growth?

When a marine animal consumes carbon-containing organisms, it typically incorporates about 10-15% of the available organic carbon for growth. The rest is released back into the environment through respiration, excretion, and decomposition.


Approximately what percentage of organic energy gets transferred from organisms on one trophic level to the next trophic level?

Roughly 10% of organic energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, with the rest being lost as heat or used for metabolic processes. This phenomenon is known as the 10% rule and is a fundamental concept in ecology.


What percent of energy from one level of the energy pyramid is available for organisms at the next level?

The next level is heterotrophs that consume the autotrophs and are the primary consumers. Generally, 10% of the energy is based from one level to the next.

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.


Explain why only 10 percent of the engery available at one trophic level is transferred to the next higher trophic level?

Energy is lost as heat during metabolic processes, limiting the amount of energy transferred to the next trophic level. Additionally, not all organisms at a lower trophic level are consumed by organisms at the next trophic level, further reducing energy transfer efficiency. This results in only about 10% of the energy being transferred to the next trophic level.


How is the amount of energy on earth kept constant when only 10 percent of energy is transferred?

Not sure what you mean with "10 percent of energy is transferred". The amount of energy on Earth will remain more or less constant, because energy incoming from the Sun will either be reflected immediately, or - if it is absorbed - most of it will heat up matter, which will make it radiate heat radiation (infrared radiation) faster, until eventually a balance is reached.
