Why is only a small percentage of energy transferred from one trophic level to the next?

• Energy is destroyed at each level.

• Most energy is used for metabolic processes or lost as heat.

• Energy is stored permanently in the producer level.

• Decomposers prevent energy transfer to higher levels.

Why does the Jaguar need more energy than the Agouti?

• Jaguars have fewer food sources.

• Jaguars require more energy to sustain their higher trophic level position.

• Energy is stored in the Agouti’s body and not transferred.

• Jaguars are producers, so they use extra energy to create food.
