The relationship between the amount of energy available for use and the amount of entropy in a food chain differs between trophic levels. why would the amount of entropy increase from one trophic level to another in a food chain or energy pyramid? a. the available energy from one trophic level to another increases b. energy is lost at each level as heat, which increases randomization c. the amount of biomass decreases from one trophic level to another d. the available energy at each level may either increase or decrease, creating randomization

Correct B). Energy is lost at each level as heat, which increases randomization

Organisms which are placed in a different trophic levels holds different levels in the food chain. They must get a sufficient amount of energy in order to survive and reproduce.  About 90 percent of the energy an organism received from the lower trophic level is known to be used in the life processes.

It is known that there is a decrease in the amount of energy as it moves from one trophic level to another trophic level because energy is lost as a metabolic heat. Only 10% of energy is available for the next highest trophic level.

Hence, the correct answer would be option B.
