Energy transfer is inefficient between trophic levels because dead organisms and waste are recycled throughout the trophic levels.
This option highlights that a significant amount of energy is lost at each trophic level due to factors such as metabolic processes, incomplete digestion, and energy lost as heat, while only a portion of energy is transferred to the next level.
