Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level. Trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) measures the amount of energy that is transferred between trophic levels.
Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: As energy is passed from one trophic level to another, the amount of usable energy decreases.
