Answer: dead organisms and waste are recycled throughout the trophic levels.

Explanation: Much energy is lost as heat through respiration and metabolism, and a lot of biomass (undigested parts, dead organisms, and waste) is broken down by decomposers instead of being passed on to the next consumer. Only a small fraction (roughly 10%) of energy is transferred to the next trophic level.
