Energy that is not used for life processes is typically lost as heat through metabolic processes or as waste products such as carbon dioxide and water. This unused energy can also be lost to the environment as it is transferred from one organism to another in a food chain.

How much of the food energy that is taken in by an organism is used for its own life processes?

Typically, around 10-20% of the food energy taken in by an organism is used for its own life processes, such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction. The rest is either stored for later use or lost as heat energy.


Can energy be used up or can energy be lost?
