A pyramid is bigger at the bottom and small and pointy at the top. so its bigger at the bottom, otherwise it would have been called an energy upside-down pyramid =).
But anyway,
energy enters a food chain from the sun. some energy and biomass is lost at each stage of a food chain as feaces, movement energy and heat energy (especiall birds and mammals). therefore only a small amount of energy and biomass is incorporated into a consumer's body and transferred to the next feeding level.
the loss of energy and biomass at each stage is a representation of why the pyramid gets smaller at the top.

What is the largest group in the energy pyramid?
Producers is the group in an energy pyramid.
Moving up an energy pyramid from bottom to top the amount of energy tends to?
The amount of energy in one section of the pyramid would always be less than the amount of energy in the section below it.
What group makes up the largest level of energy pyramid?
food
Which group makes up the largest supply of an energy pyramid?
producers
Which group makes up the largest level of energy pyramid?
Producers, such as plants and algae, make up the largest level of the energy pyramid. They convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, forming the base of the pyramid that supports all other levels.
Which is larger in a energy pyramid consumers carnivores producers or herbivores?
There is a good reason why there are more herbivores than carnivores. When a carnivore eats an herbivore, it only absorbs a small amount of energy from the animal because herbivores only absorb a small amount of energy from the plants they eat. Therefore, a carnivore must eat more herbivores to receive the energy they need to survive.
What is the largest pyramid in eygpt?

What are the name of the two largest pyramids in Teotihuacan's?

The location of Egypts largest pyramids?
The largest pyramid in Egypt is the pyramid in Giza. It is the largest pyramid in all of ancient Egypt.
Why is the bottom part of the energy pyramid the largest?
The bottom part of the energy pyramid, or trophic level, is the largest because it represents producers like plants that have the most energy available. These producers convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, which is then transferred to herbivores and up the food chain. As energy is lost as heat with each transfer, there needs to be a large base of producers to support higher trophic levels.
When was the largest pyramid built?
The largest pyramid is in Mexico, actually. Not Egypt!
