The energy pyramid is a way of gaining a conceptual understanding of energy flow in an ecosystem. There isn't really any animal at the top of the pyramid. Ultimately, the biggest animals die and are consumed by detritivores that would "normally" be placed at the bottom of the pyramid. So it's really a cycle.
Plants are at the base of the energy pyramid, known as the primary producers. They convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis and provide energy for all other organisms in the ecosystem.
The trophic level at the bottom in a food chain or food web is usually occupied by producers, such as plants or algae. These organisms convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, forming the base of the ecosystem's energy pyramid.
The ecological pyramid is basically the food chain. So, the producers (plants) are at the bottom, then herbivores (plant eaters), then above them are the omnivores or carnivores, and then the most powerful and top of the food chain animals are at the top of the pyramid.
In an ecosystem, organisms at the top of an energy pyramid are typically apex predators, such as lions, great white sharks, or eagles. These organisms occupy the highest trophic level, feeding on primary and secondary consumers while receiving the least amount of energy, as energy decreases at each trophic level due to energy loss through metabolic processes. Their position indicates they have few natural predators and play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem.
Producers do it by using photosynthesis.
The bottom level of an energy pyramid is made up of producers, such as plants and algae, that convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. These organisms form the foundational layer of the food chain by providing energy for all other organisms in the ecosystem.
At the bottom of an ocean energy pyramid, you would typically find phytoplankton or algae, which are the primary producers that convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. These organisms form the base of the marine food chain, providing energy to the rest of the ecosystem.
Producers, such as plants and algae, are always at the bottom of an energy pyramid because they are the foundation of the food chain, converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. They form the base of the pyramid and provide energy for all other organisms in the ecosystem.
producers, such as plants, that convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. They form the foundational level of the energy pyramid by capturing energy from the sun and transforming it into a usable form for other organisms within the ecosystem.
Energy pyramids start with a producer at the bottom . Then it has the consumers at the top.

The producers are found at the bottom. They contain the most amount of energy and the energy is transferred to other organisms in the food pyramid. [Consumers].
Plants are at the base of the energy pyramid, known as the primary producers. They convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis and provide energy for all other organisms in the ecosystem.
The pyramid of energy shows the flow of energy through trophic levels in an ecosystem, with most energy lost as heat at each level. The pyramid of numbers represents the number of organisms at each trophic level, with the base usually being the most numerous. Both pyramids illustrate the relationships between different trophic levels in an ecosystem but focus on different aspects - energy flow for the pyramid of energy and population distribution for the pyramid of numbers.
The bottom level of an energy pyramid, which consists of producers like plants, typically has the greatest number of organisms. These organisms form the base of the pyramid and support all the other levels by providing energy through photosynthesis.
The bottom layer of pyramid that represents ecosystem producers is the ecological pyramids. The top layers represent consumers. In the energy pyramid the bottom levels have more energy than the top levels.
