Question

what is the flow of energy in a food chain

Answer 1

Answer:

The flow of energy in an ecosystem is always linear ie uni direction. At each energy step in food chain, the energy received by the organisms is used for its own metabolism and maintenance. The left over energy is passed to next higher trophic level. Thus the energy flow decreases with successive trophic

Answer 2

At each stage of a food chain, energy is “burned” for an organism's respiration and lost to heat, so decreasing amounts are available to consumers at higher trophic levels. A standard approximation is that a mere 10 percent of the energy stored at one trophic level passes to the next one up.
