Key Points
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. A food chain can usually sustain no more than six energy transfers before all the energy is used up.
