I think it is humans destroying the planet. pollution, climate change, and habitat destruction are just a few ways we are causing a sixth extinction event.

# data[].attributes.body
a accelerated rate of species loss that exceeds natural background levels...loss of habitat pollution and over population

# data[].attributes.body
This sixth extinction event is humans and their contributions. The way humans steal resources from the land, produce more carbon for climate change, and destroy land in war.

# data[].attributes.body
A mix of climate change, pollution, over populating, and being careless with our environment

Energy flows from the grass to the rabbits, and then to the foxes. Only about 10% of the energy is passed to the next level because most is used for life processes or lost as heat.

# data[].attributes.body
The grass gets energy from the sun, The rabbit eats the grass, then the fox eats the rabbit. The fox only gets energy because of the energy lost in the metabolic process that happened.

# data[].attributes.body
it transfers through the stomach into the mucsles and cells and they keep around 10 percent then it moves into more like 1-2 percent for the next consumer

# data[].attributes.body
10% of the energy available at one trophic level is normally transferred to the next.

# data[].attributes.body
It starts with the producer(grass) getting 100% energy from the sun. Then the rabbit eats the grass and gets 10% of the energy as it has metabolism costs. Then after the fox eats the rabbit gets 1% of the energy as it also has metabolism costs.

# data[].attributes.body
energy flows from the grass to the rabbits to the foxes. grass, through photosynthesis it converts solar energy into chemical the rabbits consume the grass and foxes eat the rabbits....only 10% of the energy is stored also known as the 10% rule and the other 90% is used

# data[].attributes.body
it's still the same energy i do believe, since energy cant be created or destroyed. Once the fox eats the rabbit, the fox gets 10% of that rabbits consumed energy

# data[].attributes.body
Energy flows through each organism eaten, receiving about 10% of the previous Organism's energy. If the grass produces 100 joules of energy, the rabbit will only get 10 joules. If a fox eats the rabbit, it will only get 1 joule of energy. This pattern exists because the animal typically only uses 90% in some way or another - even if it is lost through metabolic processes.

# data[].attributes.body
Aight so, the grass gets energy from the sun, the rabbit eats the grass, and then the Fox eats the rabbit. But, the Fox only gets some of the energy because the energy is lost in the metabolic process.

# data[].attributes.body
The grass gets energy from the sun, the rabbits eat the grass and get 10% of that energy. Then the foxes eat the rabbits and get 10% of the energy the rabbits got from the grass. This pattern exists because most of the energy is lost or wasted before it can be passed down.

# data[].attributes.body
Energy flows from the sun to the grass, then to the rabbits, and finally to the foxes

# data[].attributes.body
grass gets energy from the sun which gives the rabbit energy and then the fox

# data[].attributes.body
The rabbits get their energy from the grass, they eat. then the foxes who eat the rabbits get 10% of the energy that the rabbit got from the grass

# data[].attributes.body
The grass gets energy from the sun and that energy flows to the rabbits and then to the foxes. And only 10% of energy moves from one trophic level to the next. This pattern exists because much of the energy is lost at each level.

# data[].attributes.body
Consider a field with grass (producers), rabbits that eat the grass (primary consumers), and foxes that eat the rabbits (secondary consumers). Describe how energy flows through these three trophic levels. In general, how much energy is typically transferred from one trophic level to the next? Explain why this pattern exists.
