Answer: 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is determine by the combination of efficiencies associated with organismic resource Acquisition and assimilation in an ecosystem.so the amount of energy at each tropic level decreases when it goes to the next level via ecosystem. As little as 10% of the energy at any tropic level is transferred to the next level, remaining energy is lost due to the metabolic process in the form of heat.
