Question
when energy is transferred between living things, how much of the original energy is lost as heat? 30 percent 10 percent 90 percent 50 percent
Brief Explanations
In an energy transfer between living things (such as in a food chain), about 90% of the energy is lost as heat. This is based on the 10% - 90% rule in ecology. Only about 10% of the energy is passed on to the next trophic level, and the remaining 90% is lost as heat (through metabolic processes like respiration).
