An energy pyramid is shown. Which sentence best describes how energy flows through this pyramid? A) Energy is transferred down each level of the energy pyramid. B) The energy lost at each level is consumed by organisms in the top level. C) Energy is transferred from organisms in one level to those in the level above. D) The organisms at the bottom level provide energy directly to organisms in all the other levels

Respuesta :

Answer;

C. Energy is transferred from organisms in one level to those in the level above.

Explanation;

  • 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.
  • As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.
