Why isn't 100% of energy passed from one trophic level to the next

Biology

Answer:

Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms of the next level. More specifically, 90% of metabolic energy is used, so only 10% will be passed down to the next level.

Answer:

Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level.

Explanation:

<h3>{ why is it that only part of the energy stored in one trophic level is passed on to the next level? :  This is because organisms use much of the energy that they consume for life processes, such as respiration, movement, and reproduction. Some of the remaining energy is released into the environment as heat.}</h3>
