how is energy stored, transmitted, and used
If a car is powered by electricity, however, the energy has to be stored in batteries that have a much lower energy density than gasoline does. To carry 300 milesâ worth of energy, an electric car would need a lot of very heavy batteries.

The same holds true for other organisms along the food chain. Another reason energy obtained by one organism isn't passed on in the food chain is because it is no longer available. Some energy has already been used by the first organism. A plant uses some of the energy it receives to grow and function.
