it doesnt receive the least energy per animal but on a whole as a species, the top of the food chain tends to have the smallest population so it doesnt need as much energy to keep on living also only 10% or there abouts of the energy animals lower down on the food chain take in is available through eating them the remainder is spent on living (growth repair reproduction movement) and some is wasted like the energy in bones and fur and what the animal poops out basically hope this helped
Detritivores in the soil food chain do not directly get energy, but they play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter into simpler forms for decomposition by decomposers. These decomposers then release nutrients back into the soil, which can be utilized by plants for energy production.
Energy is transferred from organism to organism in a food chain. This energy comes from the sun, is captured by producers (plants), and is passed on to consumers (animals) as they eat other organisms in the chain.
The number of links in a food chain is limited by the amount of available energy. As energy is transferred up the food chain, only about 10% is passed on to the next level. This inefficiency limits the number of trophic levels that can be sustained in a food chain.
The decomposers at the bottom of the food chain have the least amount of energy because they rely on breaking down dead organic matter to obtain nutrients. These organisms play a vital role in recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
Once an organism consumes a living thing, it gets energy from it. In a food pyramid, only 10% of the energy is passed on to the consumer. For example if an organism had 1000 calories of energy in it, and it was eaten, the predator would have gotten 10% of 1000 or 100 calories. If an animal eats that animal, it gets 10% of 100 in energy; 10 calories. And so on... NOTE- This is why food pyramids have so few tropic levels
The energy from the stage before it. e.g. plants get energy from the sun through photosynthesis, and herbivores get energy from the plants through consumption.

It depends on the activity of the animal in question but it is usually around 10%.
The energy will go down because the energy keeps getting stored in the cells of the plants or animal that has the energy, so when an other animal eats that plant or animal it gets less of the energy the other creature has. An energy pyramid starts at the bottom with a producer. This is it's widest point, because it has the most energy.

Any animal uses up most of the energy it eats; only a small amount of energy gets stored in its tissues (especially muscles, i.e., the meat we eat).
eat another energy pass only 10 percent
Because when you eat you get energy and a food chain tells you which animal eats what
The energy flux of a food chain goes from producer to decomposer. The energy flux along the food chain is always unilateral.
It seems it show that the food chain is only limited And they receive small amount if energy
Energy is transferred from organism to organism in a food chain. This energy comes from the sun, is captured by producers (plants), and is passed on to consumers (animals) as they eat other organisms in the chain.
transfer of energy among living organisms is evident in food chain because the producers receive the most energy while the consumers receive less and less energy depends on its position in the food chain.
