Best Answer

They do not have five energy levels. Most have three and a very few have four. Starting at the first level with 100% energy, only 10% is passed to the second level, 10% of 10% or 1% is passed to the third level. If the energy at the first level is very good, there may be enough to go to the fourth level which is 0.1%. You may find 4 levels in tropical jungles or temperate rain forests.

Does the amount of energy change at each level in the food pyramid?

Yes, it does. In many ecological pyramids, the producer form the base and the successive trophic levels make up the rest. Energy pyramids are always slopping because less energy is transferred from each level than was paid into it.
