um.....the 4 main levels are producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, and teritiary consumer. The energy gets smaller as you move from each level to the animal that consumes it. For example, plankton can have 1000 energy bits, but when it moves up to trout, only 100 energy bits move on to the trout. When the heron eats the trout, the heron only gets 10 energy bits passed onto its body from the trout. Remember to finish your question next time. I hope that i have answered your needs.

Energy decreases because only 10% of the energy stored at each trophic level is available to the next trophic level.
Atoms emit energy as light when electrons move to a lower energy level
Energy is transferred from one level to the next as organisms are consumed. The transfer is inefficient as 90% of the stored energy is lost as heat when that stored energy is burned.
The most energy is available at the producer level of the pyramid . As you move up the pyramid, each level has less energy available than the level below.
The most energy is available at the producer level of the pyramid . As you move up the pyramid, each level has less energy available than the level below.
It is when there is most energy at the producer level and each level you move up there is less energy.
10% of energy is lost as you move from 1 level to the next. So at the end 90% if the energy will be lost as heat.
A biomass pyramid looks like an energy pyramid, in that the largest biomass is contained in the producer level, and the least biomass is contained in the level of the highest order consumer. Basically, as you move up the energy pyramid, there is less energy available to support the biomass at each subsequent level.
The energy pyramid shows how the amount of useful energy, food, decreases as organisms in that level use it. Even though a lot of energy may be taken in at any level, more energy in the form of food that is available to the next level, is stored on the bottom level and decreases at each level as you move to the top of the pyramid. Thus, there is much less energy to support organisms at the top, so there are fewer in most communities.

protons move to a higher energy level protons move to a lower energy level electrons move to a higher energy level electrons move to a lower energy level

No, electrons must absorb energy in order to move to a higher energy level. They release energy when they move to a lower energy level.
The number of higher-level consumers (higher in the pyramid) usually decreases, as they typically consume more than one prey.
