In an energy pyramid, levels go from big to small due to the transfer of energy between trophic levels, which follows the 10% rule. As energy moves from producers (like plants) to primary consumers (herbivores) and then to secondary and tertiary consumers (carnivores), only about 10% of the energy is passed on to the next level, while the rest is lost as heat or used for metabolic processes. This results in fewer organisms and less energy available at each successive level, creating a pyramid shape. Consequently, the biomass and number of individuals decrease as you move up the pyramid.

Why is so much energy lost and where does it go in tropic 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.


Should you exercise large muscles first or small?

Big muscles first. Because if you do small ones first, by the time you start with the big ones you wont have enough energy. When you work your big muscles first, you use your small ones as well.

How big is a quantum leap?

A quantum leap is the smallest possible change that an electron can make in an atom. It involves a discrete jump in energy levels when an electron transitions from one orbit to another. The size of a quantum leap is determined by the difference in energy levels between the initial and final states of the electron.


Why does the Big Bang not have a Big Banger?

The concept of the Big Bang is theoretical and without definitive origin. Consequently the concept of a Big Banger to initiate the Big Bang is less than theoretical.Theoretically, an unnamed instability is explained as the likely cause ofthe Big Bang. A small quantum fluctuation could have created all the matter and energy we see today and inflation accelerated that energy outward.
