Why is only a small amount of energy stored in foods available to the next organism in a food chain?

Biology
1 answer:
MatroZZZ [7]4 years ago

This is because energy is lost at each trophic level leaving the last/tertiary consumer with the lowest amount of energy. Energy is lost by respiration, assimilation and excretion. It is important for animals to respire so they also lose most of their energy gained. energy is consumed as 10 percent and lost as 90 percent along the food chain. Only decomposers can use most of the rest of energy as they are the last in trophic level.

When trying to determine the evolutionary relationship between two species, would a biologist concentrate on homologous features
Lerok [7]
A biologist would most likely concentrate on homologous features to find and analyse an evolutionary relationship between two species, finding homologous traits between species might help biologists to understand the evolution of animals, whereas concentrating on analogous features might help to compare the evolution of different species. Hope this helped!
