When an herbivore eats a plant what happens to 90 of the energy obtained from that plant?
When an herbivore eats a plant, about 90% of the energy obtained is lost through metabolic processes such as respiration, growth, and reproduction, as well as in waste products. This significant energy loss occurs due to inefficiencies in energy transfer between trophic levels. Only approximately 10% of the energy is converted into biomass that can be utilized by the next trophic level, such as carnivores. This phenomenon is part of the ecological energy pyramid, illustrating the decrease in available energy as it moves up the food chain.
