IB ESS SL 2.2.8 Second Law and Energy Loss Question Bank

Explain how the second law of thermodynamics applies to this food chain.
i. second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy/disorder of a system increases over time / conversions/transformations in energy aren't 100\% efficient;
ii. available energy is lost to environment between trophic levels;
iii. energy is lost as heat from cell respiration;
iv. often only 10 % of available energy is passed on / 90 % lost between trophic levels / ecological efficiency is limited;
v. not all parts of the grass/zebra are consumed/absorbed;
