Answer:

Only about half the energy available in an organism is transferred to the consumer that eats it.

Explanation:

In an ecosystem energy flows in a linear fashion or in one direction. Energy from sun is fixed into chemical energy by green plants. The stored chemical energy from green plants is transferred to the herbivores then to carnivores who eat herbivores. During energy transfer, a part of energy is used for the growth and development of the organism and large amount of energy is released as heat into the environment and only 10 % of the energy stored in the organisms at each trophic level is transferred as a food for the next trophic level to support life. This is called ‘10 % law of energy transfer’.
