Only 10% of the energy will appear in the next tropic level.
The outer energy level is the strongest because it has more electrons in it.
It is lost to into the environment and ultimately the universe.
Food energy flows from one organism to the next and to the next and so on, with some energy being lost at each level. Organisms in a food chain are grouped into tropic levels, based on how many links they are removed from the primary producers. In tropic levels there may be one species or a group of species with the same predators and prey.
THE LEVEL ON the pyramid that has the most biomass is the tertiary level.
the equator

The outer energy level is the strongest because it has more electrons in it.
Each tropic level is only able to use about 10% of the energy from its food. Because of this energy loss, there is usually not enough energy left to after a fourth tropic level to support anything higher.
The most accurate method is to use a pyramid of energy to show the transfer of energy between trophic levels
In higher tropic levels, energy is lost because of the higher area of living. Metabolic activity is something else that plays a big part in the loss of energy at the tropic level.
The base level or the lowest level uses sunlight. These are plants, trees, grasses and shrubs.
tropic level
Energy pyramids show relative amounts of energy which reaches from one tropic level to other.
The trophic level of an animal refers to its place on the energy pyramid. Its trophic level shows what the animal eats and how much energy it gets.
10 PERCENT
The trophic level of producers (photosynthetic organisms) has the most available energy in a biologic community. As a general (but not absolute) rule, every trophic level above this has 10% as much available energy as the level below it; primary consumers have 10% as much as producers, secondary consumers 1%, tertiary consumers .1%.
