who gets the least energy in a food chain?
animals
the energy is passed on from trophic level to trophic level and each time about 90% of the energy is lost, with some being lost as heat into the environment (an effect of respiration) and some being lost as incompletely digested food (egesta). therefore, primary consumers get about 10% of the energy produced by autotrophs, while secondary consumers get 1% and tertiary consumers get 0.1%. this means the top consumer of a food chain receives the least energy, as a lot of the food chain's energy has been lost between trophic levels. this loss of energy at each level limits typical food chains to only four to six links.
