Trophic Levels

In a food chain, as we go from lower to higher trophic level, the energy:

What is trophic level ?

In the figure given alongside, the various trophic levels are shown in the form of a pyramid. At which trophic level the maximum energy is available ?

Orgnisms at a higher trophic level have less energy available. Comment.

Assertion: Pyramid of energy can never be inverted. Reason: When energy flows from one trophic level to the next trophic level, some energy is always lost as heat at each step.

Consider the following for statements (1 - 4 ), select the correct option starting which ones are true (T) and which ones are false (F) (1) An orgenism at each trophic level depends on those at a higher energy demands. (2) Each trophic level has a certain mass of living material at a particular time called standing state . (3) Each trophic level has a certain mass of non-living material at a particular time called standing state . (4) The number of trophic levels in a grazing food chain is not restricted.

If an ecosystem is composed of only three trophic levels, then how much energy will be conserved at the third trophic level
