The energy will go down because the energy keeps getting stored in the cells of the plants
or animal that has the energy, so when an other animal eats that plant or animal it gets less of the energy the other creature has.
An energy pyramid starts at the bottom with a producer. This is it's widest point, because it has the most energy.

What happens to the total amount of energy as it flows through a food chain?
the energy amount increases as other organisms eat other organizms.
How can energy be lost in a food chain?
Energy can be lost in a food chain by heat or waste.
The amount of energy that is transferred at each level of the food chain is about?
It depends on the activity of the animal in question but it is usually around 10%.
What is the amount of energy in a food measured in?
The amount of energy in food is measured in kilojoules (kL)
Where does the main source of energy in the food chain come from?
Sun
In any food chain the total amount of energy always?
The energy flux of a food chain goes from producer to decomposer. The energy flux along the food chain is always unilateral.
What limits the number of links in a food chain?
The number of links in a food chain is limited by the amount of available energy. As energy is transferred up the food chain, only about 10% is passed on to the next level. This inefficiency limits the number of trophic levels that can be sustained in a food chain.
Where is there the least amount of energy in the food chain?
The decomposers at the bottom of the food chain have the least amount of energy because they rely on breaking down dead organic matter to obtain nutrients. These organisms play a vital role in recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
Where is the least amount of energy found in a food chain?
the very top
What happens to the amount of energy as ittransferred from one cosumer to another?
the amount of energy decreases the further up the food chain you go
What does a pyramid of energy show about the amount of energy available at different trophic levels of a food chain?
4
What does a pyramid of energy show about the amount of energy available at different trophic levels of food chain?
4
What pyramid represents the amount of energy or matter that exists in each level of a food chain?
a food web
What happens to the total amount of energy as it flows through a food chain?
the energy amount increases as other organisms eat other organizms.
Why only a small amount of the energy stored in food is available for the next organism in a food chain?
The energy stored in food is lost as heat during metabolism, movement, and other activities by the organism. This limits the amount of energy that can be passed on to the next organism in the food chain. As a result, only about 10% of the energy is transferred to the next trophic level, leading to a decrease in available energy as you move up the food chain.
What factor affects the amount of energy the end consumer of a food chain receives?
amount of food taken by the end consumeer whether the consumer is herbivores or carnivore
How is the energy in a food chain different from the energy of the wind?
how is the energy in a food chain different form the energy of the wind?
