As you move upward from level to level in a energy pyramid energy?
um.....the 4 main levels are producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, and teritiary consumer. The energy gets smaller as you move from each level to the animal that consumes it. For example, plankton can have 1000 energy bits, but when it moves up to trout, only 100 energy bits move on to the trout. When the heron eats the trout, the heron only gets 10 energy bits passed onto its body from the trout. Remember to finish your question next time. I hope that i have answered your needs.As always,iLuvScienceBcuzItIzCool
