Organisms in a trophic level use the available for life processes (such as and release some energy as heat Remember: Every chemical process that happens in your body releases heat as a byproduct (ex: burning calories). 2. Rule of 10—only of the available energy within a trophic level is to the next higher trophic level. Where does the rest of the energy go? C.
