Question

question 3 points 3 say true or false, and explain the reason. in an ecosystem, the energy transfered from the lower level to the next higher level decreases. true. since higher trophic level organisms require less energy. false. since very little of the sun’s energy is available to the top level. true. since only 10% of the total energy available at the producer will be available to the next level. false. since the number of herbivores is more than the producers.

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, the 10 - percent rule states that only about 10% of the energy available at one trophic level is transferred to the next higher trophic level. This is due to energy being lost as heat, used for metabolism, and other life - sustaining processes in organisms at each level. So, the energy transferred from the lower level to the next higher level decreases.

Answer:

True. Since only 10% of the total energy available at the producer will be available to the next level.
