When energy is transferred from one form to another, such as in a light bulb converting electrical energy to light energy, only about 10% of the original energy is typically converted into the desired form. The remaining 90% is often lost as waste heat due to inefficiencies in the conversion process. This waste heat is usually dispersed into the surrounding environment and cannot be used for further work or energy transfer.

What happens to the other 90 percent of energy and in what form does it re-enter the environment?

The other 90 percent of energy is typically lost as heat energy during energy transformations in an ecosystem. This heat energy eventually dissipates into the environment, contributing to the overall increase in entropy.


What happens to the other 90 percent in the 10 percent rule?

The other 90 percent in the 10 percent rule is lost as it gets consumed or used up as energy by the organisms in the trophic level above. This energy is used for metabolism, growth, and reproduction, and is not available to transfer to the next trophic level.

If efficiency of converting chemical to thermal energy was 90 percent what would the overall efficiency be?

In saying what the overall efficiency would be, I suppose you mean for other processes, creating the chemical energy for example, and using the thermal energy. This is impossible to answer, not knowing what these processes are.


Where does the other 90 percent of the energy go?

The other 90 percent of energy typically goes into various forms of energy loss, including heat dissipation, friction, and inefficiencies in energy conversion processes. In systems like power plants or engines, much of the energy is lost as waste heat due to thermodynamic limits. Additionally, energy may be lost in transmission, storage, or conversion to other forms, such as electricity. Ultimately, only a small fraction is converted into useful work or output.


At the end of glycolysis how much of the chemical energy is still unused?

about 90 percent.


Is a planet with an albedo of 10 percent absorbs 10 percent of the sunlight that strikes it and reflects the other 90 percent True or False?

False. A planet with an albedo of 10 percent reflects 10 percent of the sunlight that strikes it and absorbs the other 90 percent.


If you use 10 percent of your brain why do you have the other 90 percent?

We normally use only 10 to 20 percent of our minds. Think how different your life would be if you could utilize that other 80 to 90 percent known as the subconscious mind.
