• the salt content of the water
• the temperature of the water

How do scientists account for the decrease in available energy from one trophic level to the next higher trophic level?

• The energy is available to organisms at lower trophic levels.
• The energy of the sun cannot be fully exploited by producers.
• The energy is stored in energy-dense molecules for decomposers.
• The energy is used by organisms for life functions or is lost as heat.
