Energy pyramids
energy pyramids show the relative amount of
energy that is available to each trophic level.
only about 10% of the energy available in
one trophic level is transferred to organisms in
the next trophic level. the other 90% is lost
through heat and other body processes.
1. list 2 body processes in which you think
energy is lost.

Energy is lost at several levels from the body of an organism. Two of the phenomenons through which energy is lost are

Conduction:

When a body is in contact with another body, energy is lost in the form of heat. For example, if we sleep on a cold floor, energy from our body would be lost to the floor in the form of heat,

Decomposition:

Energy is lost when cells in a body die and energy is required for decomposition also.

It converts nitrogen into a form that humans can obtain by eating other organisms.
