Question

How much energy is lost in transfer from one trophic level to another percentage?

Answer 1

10 percent is lost in transfer

Answer 2

A pyramid of energy represents how much energy, initially from the sun, is retained or stored in the form of new biomass at each trophic level in an ecosystem. Typically, about 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, thus preventing a large number of trophic levels.
