Why Only a small amount of energy stored in food is available to the next organism in a food chain?
Because 90% of the energy acquired is used for life functions, such as respiration, healing injuries, growth etc. So when the animal dies only some of the original energy is still in the body. And when the next animal goes to eat it some of the original energy is locked away in indigestible things like bones. So only 10% of the original energy is able to passed onto the next animal.
I'm pretty sure that's what you were asking for...

What determines the amount of chemical energy a substance has?
The amount of chemical energy a substance has is determined by the types and arrangement of atoms and molecules in that substance. The energy is stored within the chemical bonds between these atoms and molecules. The strength of these bonds and the potential energy stored in them determine the amount of chemical energy.
How much energy is stored in a computer?
The energy stored in a computer is typically in the form of electrical energy, stored in the battery or power supply unit. The amount of energy stored depends on the capacity of the battery or power supply, which can vary based on the device and its specifications.
What is the total energy stored in the 36 ATP molecules?
The energy stored in 36 ATP molecules produced by aerobic respiration is equal to 39% of the energy available in six carbon glucose.
How are gross and net primary productivity of a community related?
Gross primary productivity is the total amount of energy captured by producers through photosynthesis, while net primary productivity is the amount of energy left after subtracting energy used for respiration. Net primary productivity is thus derived from gross primary productivity, as it represents the energy available to consumers in the community after accounting for producers' own energy needs.
How does stored chemical energy relate to chemical bonds?
Stored chemical energy is a form of potential energy that is stored in the chemical bonds of molecules. When these bonds are broken during a chemical reaction, the stored energy is released, typically in the form of heat or light. The amount of energy stored in a chemical bond depends on the specific atoms involved and the type of bond they form.
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.
Where does an organism store energy?
A small amount of energy is stored in the cells. For animals the major energy store are the fat reserves and for plants the major energy stores is starch. Single celled creatures use glucose.
What is the energy that is stored and available to use?
Potential Energy

What happens to food taken in by an organism?
The energy from the food is stored
What organism consumed the stored energy in green plants?

Where is the most of the chemical energy stored in a living orginism?
It is stored in different particles and layers of the organism.
Compare the energy stored in a lipid to the energy stored in a carbohydrate?
the amount of energy is double in lipids as compared to carbohydrtes
What does potential energy?
energy that is stored and available to be used later
How is energy transferred from one organism to another organism?
Energy is transferred between organisms through consumption. When an organism consumes another organism, it obtains the energy stored in the consumed organism's tissues. This energy is then used by the consumer for various biological processes.
