Why does only a small fraction of the energy at one trophic level become available to the next trophic level?

About 10% of the energy in the lower trophic level is passed to the next higher level. The 80% of energy that is left is used by that lower level for life processes or is lost as waste.

Why can each trophic level support only about one tenth the amount of the living tissue of the level below?
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level. The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.
If the 1st trophic level has 10000 kilocalories of energy how much energy will be available for trophic levels 2-4?
One million calories .
Why can each trophic level support only about one tenth the amount of living tissue of the level below?
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level (from all the activity done by that level, e.g., running, climbing, fighting) . The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.
What percent of the energy available within on trophic level is transferred to organisms at the next trophic level when they are eaten?
1%
What trophic level in community has the most available energy?
primary producer
Is about 50 percent of the energy available within one trophic level transferred to the next trophic level?
No. About TEN (10) percent of the energy available within one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level the rest of it is used to grow and develop, except in plants because plants use 100% or close to 100% of the sun's energy to grow and develop.
What does a pyramid of energy show about the amount of energy available at different trophic levels of a food chain?

True or false on average about 50 percent of the energy available within on trophic level is transferred to the next trophic livel?
No. About TEN (10) percent of the energy available within one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level the rest of it is used to grow and develop, except in plants because plants use 100% or close to 100% of the sun's energy to grow and develop.
If producers in an energy pyramid produce ten million calories of energy how much calories of energy would be available at the fourth trophic level?
Becuase of the interpretation of the condence evaluation of the trophic leve leveld out by the consumers
What does available energy do at each successive trophic level in an ecosystem?
i dnt fvckin knw
When energy is transferred between trophic levels the amount of available energy lost is about?
9o% of energy is lost at each level
