The sea turtle is near the bottom of the food chain because it only eats plants. But it is debatable for the simple fact that nothing eats the turtle.

Why does food chain triangle shape?

Not sure if you are asking about the food chain, or the food pyramid, so I'll answer both: The higher you are on the food chain (near the top of the pyramid), the less likely you are to be eaten. Plants are at the bottom of the food chain, because almost everything eats plant matter, however very few plants eat meat! Animals are higher on the chain, and humans are near the top. Just remember, animals will eat humans too, but we are typically smarter so we can out gun an animal. The higher you go on the food pyramid, the less servings you are supposed to eat. Breads and cereals are at the bottom, which means we are supposed to eat more servings of them than say, meat.


Why are there usually few organisms at the energy pyramid?

In a stable ecoystem, there should always be more producers than carnivores. For one, there has to be more energy, because your energy flow has to reach the top of the pyramid through your primary, secondary, etc. consumers. There has to be more at the bottom because the organisms at the upper levels have to have a food source. How would the jungle look if there were 100 tigers and only 1 plant?
