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) Responses 75% 75% 10% 10% 15% 15% 50% 50%

The approximate amount of energy that is passed from one trophic level to the next is typically around 10%. This is known as the "10% rule" in ecology, which states that only about 10% of the energy from one trophic level is transferred to the next level, while the rest is lost largely as heat.
