Question

How much energy in a food source is available to transfer to an organism that eats it?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the 10% energy transfer

Explanation:

This is due to the 10% energy transfer rule

Answer 2

Answer:

The average amount of energy transferred from one trophic level to the next is 10%. For example, 10% of the solar energy that is captured by phytoplankton gets passed on to zooplankton (primary consumers). Ten percent of that energy (10% of 10%, which is 1%) gets passed on to the organisms (secondary consumers) that eat the zooplankton.

Explanation:

Energy transfer in and between organisms. Within the food chain energy can be passed and transferred from one organism to another. Whilst mammals get their energy sources from food – whether this be eating other animals or eating vegetation; plants get their energy from photosynthesis. Energy is passed between organisms through the food chain.
