How much energy moves up from one trophic level to the next in the energy pyramid

Only about 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. Most of the rest of the energy is lost through heat (energy expended, metabolic process, respiration) as it transfers along each level. The reason for this energy loss is found in the second law of thermodynamics which states: that as energy is transferred energy is lost.
