The approximate amount of energy that is passed from one trophic level to the next is 10 percent. This concept is known as the "10% rule" in ecology, which states that typically only about 10% of the energy from one trophic level is converted into biomass at the next level, with the rest being lost primarily as heat.
As energy is passed through the food chain, some of the energy is lost as heat. What is the approximate amount of energy that is passed from one trophic level to the next?(1 point)
