Matter that doesnt get passed to the trophic level above is lost as heat energy.

When matter passes from on trophic level to another, only 10% is transferred. During the energy transfer through the trophic levels, typically only 10% of it is used to build new biomass- becomes stored energy. The rest is used in metabolic processes.

The organisms are made up of matter. Some of the matter is transferred from one level to another and the left material undergoes the decomposition process after the death of the organism.  

The Decomposers and the detritivores convert the fixes the organic matter into the soil. This way, the dead remains converted into inorganic nutrients, which can be used by the producers again.

List several processes in cell metabolism where diffusion is important
fiasKO [112]
<span>One process wherein diffusion is important is the concentration of salt within a cell. When the salt levels are too high within the cell, salt molecules are moving via diffusion to a region of lower concentration. Another process is the movement of carbon dioxide in plant cells, where CO2 moves from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration.</span>
