Energy Loss due to movement.
- Part of the biomass eaten by an animal is used for respiration in the cells.
  - This supplies all the energy needs for the living processes taking place within the body including movement.
- Movement uses a lot of energy. The muscles use energy to contract and also get hot.
  - Therefore the more the animal moves about, the more energy (and biomass) it uses from its food.
