The relationship between the amount of energy available for the use of the amount of entropy in a food chain difference between trophic levels why would the amount of entropy increase from the trophic level to another in a food chain or energy pyramid

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.
