Outline how the energy flow through food chains limits their length.
Outline how the energy flow through food chains limits their length.
a. only a small proportion/20 \%/10\% «of energy» can pass from one trophic level to the next
OR large proportion/80 \%/90\% lost between one trophic level and the next
b. energy released by respiration AND lost as heat
c. energy losses due to uneaten parts/undigested parts/feces/egestion
d. not enough energy for 4th /5th / later stages of a food chain
OR
more energy available if feeding at an earlier stage in a food chain
