It decreases.
the energy decreases.
what happens is that the energy that was to start with will be broken and half of that will go to continue the cycle because the energy that does not move on is being used by the producer, consumer or scavenger depending on which stage of the food chain or web it is on.
I think what you are referring to is a food chain, It is a series of energy steps from plants to animals and more animals in the form of food.
The energy decreases as you move step to step in a chain .........................................The first organism (primary consumer) that eats the producer (green plants) will have the most number of energy................................while the last organism in the chain (top predator) will have the least number of energy in the chain.
Energy is lost

Yes, electrons do lose energy at each step of the electron transport chain in photosynthesis. As electrons move along the chain, they transfer energy to pump protons across the membrane, which creates a proton gradient used to generate ATP. This energy loss is essential for the production of ATP and ultimately fuels the conversion of light energy into chemical energy.
Energy is lost at each step of a food chain through processes like respiration, heat loss, and waste production. As a result, only a fraction of the energy from one trophic level is passed on to the next, leading to a decrease in available energy as you move up the food chain.
As you move down a trophic level in a food chain or food web, energy is transferred from one organism to another. With each step down, energy is lost through metabolism and heat production, resulting in less energy being available for the next trophic level. This is why organisms at higher trophic levels typically have fewer individuals compared to lower trophic levels.
