Trophic Levels: Energy Transfer
Energy Transfer- Tamirin Lawson
Energy transfer affects the community and environment because it limits the amount of trophic levels that can exist. By having a nature trail we can observe the different trophic levels and how they impact each other, while encouraging the community to be safely outside and exercising.
Think of trophic levels like a food pyramid.The bottom has the most energy to give, whereas the top has the least energy to pass on. This is called the 10% rule, because only 10% of the energy is passed on. This happens because during the levels energy is used to procreate, grow, even just to do the basic functions like having a beating heart and breathing takes energy. As you go through the trophic levels it takes more energy
