What happens as you move up energy the pyramid?

Basically only 1/10 of the energy from the previous organism is absorbed into the body of the consumer while the other 9/10 is burned up when used for energy by the previous organism. If there is some grass with 100 energy and it gets eaten by a herbivore, the herbivore only receives 10% of the ORIGINAL energy (so the herbivore will have 10 energy.) The animal that will eat the herbivore will only receive 1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source. The next consumer of the previous organism will only get 0.1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source and so on.
