Energy transfer is inefficient between trophic levels primarily because dead organisms and waste are recycled throughout the trophic levels. This means that not all energy in the biomass of one trophic level is transferred to the next, as a significant portion is lost as heat and through processes such as respiration, and only a fraction is converted into biomass at the higher trophic levels.
