Why are there usually fewer organisms at the top of an energy pyramid?
The energy pyramid has a broad base to support the next level of organisms, then gets narrower as each layer is added. Each upper level eats more than one ie many organism from the layer below it. Therefore, there has to be more organisms and more energy trapped in lower layers to give energy to the upper layer. There is more grass than rabbits, there are more rabbits than hawks. There is more energy in the grass layer than the layers above it.
Why is there less energy available to the fox than the rabbit in the grass rabbit fox food chain?
organisms use some of the energy for life processes
Will a dog in my backyard prevent other predators like owls hawks and cats from killing my rabbits?
Not necessarily. Much depends upon the breed and/or personality of the dog. There are some breeds that are natural hunters and the rabbits would be less safe from the dog than from other natural predators.
Why are there fewer hawks and foxes than mice in energy pyramid?

Do rabbits with floppy ears hear less than those with upright ones?
No

What happens if a pair of colliding molecules possesses less energy than Ea?
If the collision has less energy than Ea (which is activation energy,) then the particles will not have sufficient energy to react.
Is there less energy stored in snake than rabbit?
Less energy is stored in the rabbit as compared to the snake.
