What happens to the amount of energy as you go up the energy pyramid?
Basically only 1/10 of the energy from the previous organism is absorbed into the body of the consumer while the other 9/10 is burned up when used for energy by the previous organism. If there is some grass with 100 energy and it gets eaten by a herbivore, the herbivore only receives 10% of the ORIGINAL energy (so the herbivore will have 10 energy.) The animal that will eat the herbivore will only receive 1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source. The next consumer of the previous organism will only get 0.1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source and so on.
Who will spend more energy to find food herbivore or a carnivore?
Herbivores. In a food chain, energy is passed from one link to another. When a herbivore eats, only a fraction of the energy (that it gets from the plant food) becomes new body mass; the rest of the energy is lost as waste or used up by the herbivore to carry out its life processes (e.g., movement, digestion, reproduction). Therefore, when the herbivore is eaten by a carnivore, it passes only a small amount of total energy (that it has received) to the carnivore.
