First level is the plants, they capture energy from the sun and trap it in their molecules, sugar, etc. Second trophic level probably has to eat lots of plants just to put a little meat on their bones, so energy is being transferred, and eventually moves "up" only because the food chain is often looked at as a pyramid.
Biomass pyramids are another way to describe this (or almost same) phenomenon.

What happens when food chains overlap in an ecosystem?
in a food chain and a food web what shows the movement of energy
What are the produces on a food a food web how do produces obtain energy?
energy
Is matter and energy conserved in a food web?
Matter and total energy are ALWAYS conserved. However, in a food web, you will often consider the USABLE energy; this gets reduced at each step of the food web.
How is energy transferred through a food web and food chain using law of conversation of energy?
In a food chain and food web the energy is getting reused by the next level so the energy is not being created or distorted, just reused.
What kind of diagram represents the many energy pathways in a real ecosystem?
Food web
When is energy released from the food web?
It isn't it stays and keeps going and going.
What happens when food chains overlap in an ecosystem?
in a food chain and a food web what shows the movement of energy
What happens to energy as you move from step to step in a food chain or web?
It decreases.
What happens to energy as flows through a food web?
The energy is reduced in such a way that only 10% is passed to each level.
Why do the arrows on a food web point toward the animal eating?
The arrow in a food chain points to where the energy is going.
What happens to the energy as you move from step to step in a chain or web?
what happens is that the energy that was to start with will be broken and half of that will go to continue the cycle because the energy that does not move on is being used by the producer, consumer or scavenger depending on which stage of the food chain or web it is on.
How is energy transferred from one living things to another?
there are many diffrent ways that energy can be transfered from one thing to another. but when i thisk of this topic, i think of a food chain or a food web. in a food chain or food web, it shows where the energy is going, therefore, shows who is getting eaten by what.
What energy role is the cat in the food web?
what energy role does the cat play in the food web
What kind of energy is in a food web?
Food energy, which is a type of chemical energy.
What are the produces on a food a food web how do produces obtain energy?
energy
Is matter and energy conserved in a food web?
Matter and total energy are ALWAYS conserved. However, in a food web, you will often consider the USABLE energy; this gets reduced at each step of the food web.
How is the food web and the energy web the same?
their webs
