<span>This is due to much of the energy that is consumed by lower trophic levels of the food chain/food web being used at that lower level. This energy is stored or used and, therefore, unavailable to the organisms higher up in the chain. As the chain lengthens, less energy is available, usually as a factor of 10 (1/10 of the energy taken in by the level below the consumer is available to the consumer's level, for example).</span>

The food chain is a cycle of energy. The energy and biomass successively decrease along the food chain as animals from higher trophic levels consume the animals from lower trophic levels. As each animal consumes the other, only 10% is transferred to the next organism

Pllzzz help i will give 20 points if u answer correct
Nana76 [90]
Passive transport means the cell does not have to spend energy to move gasses and fluids. the gasses or liquids go from a higher concentration to a place of lower concentration. Think about shaking a can of soda. There's a lot of pressure that builds up in the soda. When you open the soda, all of the pressure escapes to an area of lower pressure outside of the can. This is called diffusion. Osmosis is another form of passive transport. For example, in water osmosis, the water goes from a less salty solution to a more salty solution. 

The correct answer is A. Diffusion and osmosis.

hope this helps =)
