Answer 3

The correct response is: Because 10% of the energy at each level moves to the next level and some additional energy is converted to heat.

In an energy pyramid, approximately 10% of the energy from one trophic level is transferred to the next, while the majority of energy (around 90%) is lost to metabolic processes and heat.
