about 10%
By showing the trophic feeding levels of the ecosystem, students can easily visualize how energy is transferred from producers to consumers. Students should be aware that only about 10% of energy at any given level is transferred to the next Rule of 10s

Answer:

Only 10% is passed on to the next trophic level.

Step-by-step explanation:

At each step up the food chain, only 10% of the energy is passed on to the next level. This is because approximately 90% of the energy is lost as heat.
