Question

The loss of energy as it is transferred from one trophic level to the next higher level is an example of

Answer 1

Answer: The energy transfer between trophic levels is inefficient because energy is lost when one trophic level goes to a level higher. This is due to the fact that an organism is not fully consumed. Transportation of the actual organism within the consumer requires energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level. Trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) measures the amount of energy that is transferred between trophic levels.
