Which statement best explains the decrease in energy availability in a food chain?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: The correct answer is D) Some energy in each trophic level is used for life processes.  

Food chain represents the flow of energy through various living organisms (which lie at different trophic levels) in an ecosystem. The energy flows from one trophic level to the next and it is decreased with subsequent trophic levels.

As per the law of 10% energy transfer, only 10 % of the energy is transferred from one level to the next as the rest of the energy at every trophic level is utilized in various metabolic processes like respiration, digestion, excretion and also liberated as heat in the surrounding.

Due to this, the energy available at any trophic level is less than the previous trophic level.
