Question

what type of changes occur in the amount of energy during its transfer from plant to apex consumers?

Answer 1

Energy is lost as it gets transferred from one organism to another. Energy decreases as it moves up from one trophic level to another because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organism of one trophic level consumes the organisms of another trophic level.

Answer 2

Answer:

• As we progress from lower trophic levels to higher ones, from plants to apex consumers, the amount of energy decreases.
• Because energy is lost as metabolic heat when an organism from one trophic level consumes an organism from another trophic level, energy is lost as it is moved from one trophic level to another.
• The 10 percent rule, which holds that only ten percent of the energy transferred from one trophic level to the next in an ecosystem will be transferred to the subsequent trophic level, can also be used to explain this.
• In the case of an aquatic ecosystem, the energy pyramid can be used to explain this.
• The amount of energy delivered decreases as we go from a lower trophic level to a higher trophic level.
