is 10% energy transferred to next level or os 10% energy lost during the transfer ---so that would mean 90% is transferred and 10% loss.
😕


thx

I think only 10% is transfered from one level to the next.

90% energy transfer sounds too good to be true. Energy transfer from one trophic level to the next is only 10% efficient (90% is lost during the process), which is why you need such a huge biomass of plants to support a relatively small biomass at higher trophic levels.
