Well, first the energy will start from the sun and the plant will turn the light energy into chemical energy, then an organism will eat this plant. Now since every time an organism consumes another organism or plant it will only be able to absorb 10% of its energy. Then the cycle will continue until the top carnivore dies and the decomposes absorb the energy and start the cycle over.
