Question

What happens to energy in an ecosystem as it's transmitted between trophic levels?

Answer 1

It decreases.

Explanation:

As energy moves between trophic levels, it decreases by 10% every time. This happens because the producers have the most energy, and the primary consumer that eats them does not take in all of it. So, if the producer has 100 for their energy, the primary consumer would only take in 10.
