Question

IN a food chain with each feeding relationships the energy transfered from one organism to another will
be indipendent of the level
increase
remain constant
decrease

Answer 1

In a food chain, the energy transferred from one organism to another will typically **decrease** at each level. This is due to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that energy transfer is not 100% efficient. Generally, only about 10% of the energy is passed on to the next trophic level, while the rest is lost as heat and used for metabolic processes by the organisms at each level. Therefore, as you move up the food chain, the amount of energy available decreases.
