The 10% rule for an energy pyramid explains that
10% of an organisms energy is lost
only 10% of the energy from one trophic level is passed to the next
10% of the energy an organism obtains is used for body processes
10% of an organisms energy came from the previous trophic level
In the diagram above, how is energy lost from each trophic level?
as heat
used by the organism
retained in the previous level
passed to the next level
