What happens to the amount of energy as it moves through the food chain?

The amount of usable energy ("food") stored in the biomass of organisms is decreased because most of the energy taken in by consumers is used for movement or released as body heat. The percentage passed on is usually taken as 10%, although this is a very generalized average, and different ecosystems have varying efficiencies.
