Question

most of the energy that enters a trophic level through food from another level of a food pyramid does not accumulate in the body of the consumer. where does the energy go ?




​

Answer 1

Answer:

It's gross productivity adjusted for the energy used by the organisms in respiration/metabolism, so it reflects the amount of energy stored as biomass. Energy transfer between trophic levels is not very efficient. Only about 10% of the net productivity of one level ends up as net productivity at the next level.

Explanation:

Hope this helps you and pls mark me as brainliest.

Answer 2

Most of the energy that enters a trophic level through food from another trophic level does not accumulate in the body of the consumer because-

• The energy is used to do daily activities or life processes such as respiration, digestion, reproduction etc. Most of the energy is used to carry out chemical reactions that happen inside the body of living organisms.
• Less than 10% of the total energy obtained at a trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level. Complex organisms transfer less energy to the next trophic level as they require more energy for metabolic reactions. The higher the trophic level, the lesser is the energy available to the next trophic level.
