Question 3 options:

1%


0.1%


100%


10%

Answer 1

0.1 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Only 10% of the total energy produced at each trophic level is available to the next level above it. The amount of energy passed up to the levels of the food pyramid reduces as you go up. While approximately 90 percent of the energy is lost as heat.
