What happens to energy when it is NOT passed from one trophic level to another?

I dont think the energy can't transfer it will probably be consumed by a scavenger or be chemically borken down by a decomposer.


During aerobic respiration electrons are passed down the electron transport chain and what is formed?

Aerobic respiration is a cellular level process in which nutrients are changed into energy. The electrons that pass down the electron transport chain react with oxygen (thus, aerobic) and protons to form water.
