Is assimilation essential for all living organism?
ASSIMILATION is the process in which the food taken by the organism is used to release energy for its day-to-day activities.since all organisms require energy,thus, assimilation is very essential for all living organism.
How is energy passed from one organism to the next?
the energy value decreases because it's used by the organism in order to survive before it can be passed on It depends on what kind of energy. Kenetic energy will transfer from organism to another in the same way any other object transfers its motion energy. Spiritual energy can be transfered to the second organism, and yet, be retained by the first. The same can be said for emotional energy. By jack phillips
What happens as you move up energy the pyramid?
Basically only 1/10 of the energy from the previous organism is absorbed into the body of the consumer while the other 9/10 is burned up when used for energy by the previous organism. If there is some grass with 100 energy and it gets eaten by a herbivore, the herbivore only receives 10% of the ORIGINAL energy (so the herbivore will have 10 energy.) The animal that will eat the herbivore will only receive 1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source. The next consumer of the previous organism will only get 0.1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source and so on.
What happens to the 62 percent of the total energy of glucose that is not used to make?
It is released as heat.
Why is so little of the energy from one trophic level transferred up to the next trophic level?
All of the energy that enters an organism is not available to the next trophic level. This is because while the organism has the energy they use most of the energy up before the next level eats that level.
What happens to the other 90 percent of energy and in what form does it re-enter the environment?
When energy is passes between tiers only ten percent of the energy is passed on. The other 90 percent is used by the previous organism and it re-enters the environment from the sun.
How much of the food energy that is taken in by an organism is used for its own processes?
Producers use about 90 percent of the food energy they make during photosynthesis for their life processes.

What is organism energy used for?
Energy is required for sustaining life.
What is the percent of energy used by the prey in an energy pyramid?
twenty percent
How is proteins used by an organism?
to use energy
How does the 10 percent rule apply to the food chain?
in a food chain, energy transfers from one level to another. The 10% rule says that 10% of energy is transfered from one level to another because the rest of the energy is being used by the organism.
What is 0.45 percent naCl used for?
This is a hypotonic solution used for the hydration of the organism and to improve the sodium.
Does the food chain transfer nutrients from organism to organism?
Yes. Food or fuel creates energy, energy is transferred through "nutritional" content. There are several different factors that control the primary productivity of energy and biomass flow. Energy flow is the amount of energy that moves through a food chain. The energy input, or energy that enters the ecosystem, is measured in Joules or calories. Accordingly, the energy flow is also called calorific flow. In the study of energy flow, ecologists try to quantify the importance of different species and feeding relationships. The largest source of energy for an ecosystem is the sun.Energy that is not used in an ecosystem is eventually lost as heat. Energy and nutrients are passed around through the food chain, when one organism eats another organism. Any energy remaining in a dead organism is consumed by decomposers. Nutrients can be cycled through an ecosystem but energy is simply lost over time.
What percent of the energy used in the US is nuclear?
19 percent of electricity
Where does most of the energy go if it is not used by the organism?
It is secreted out in the form of feces.
