Want this question answered?
The higher an organism is in the energy pryamid the less energy. the lower the organism`s posittion in the pyramid more energy
I know the answer but i don't know how to explain it. But I can tell you that I found the answer on this website: http:/users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/F/FoodChains.html
because,it show how the energy decrease while it goes at higher level
Only about ten percent of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next in an ecosystem. This is why the amount of animals in higher levels is smaller.
When an atom absorbs a photon its energy is transferred to outer shell electrons. The result will be the transition of an electron to a higher energy state.
10% is transferred
The energy transferred from each tier of the energy pyramid gradually decreases the higher up you go because as energy is being transferred, larger and/or higher consuming organisms are using up more energy. Again, this increases the higher up you go.
between each tier of the energy pyramid, energy is lost as heat
The higher an organism is in the energy pryamid the less energy. the lower the organism`s posittion in the pyramid more energy
The higher you are on the pyramid the less energy you get, so it takes a lot of stamina and endurance to be at the top.
Thermal energy is transferred from areas of higher temperatures to areas with lower temperatures.

Thermal energy always flows from higher temperature to lower temperature. This is the nature of heat.
fruit is higher but sugar but sugar is less
because,it show how the energy decrease while it goes at higher level
The number of higher-level consumers (higher in the pyramid) usually decreases, as they typically consume more than one prey.
Only about ten percent of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next in an ecosystem. This is why the amount of animals in higher levels is smaller.
