Energy available decreases as you move up the energy pyramid due to the loss of energy through metabolic processes and heat loss. Generally, around 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. Therefore, third-level consumers have the least energy available compared to first-level consumers.
The top level, which consists of tertiary consumers, contains the least energy in the energy pyramid because energy is lost as heat as it moves up the trophic levels.
In an energy pyramid, joules represent the amount of energy transferred from one trophic level to the next. It quantifies the energy available at each level for consumption by the organisms at the next trophic level. As you move up the pyramid, there is a decrease in the amount of energy available at each level due to energy loss through metabolism and heat.
The last level of the energy pyramid...secondary,tertiary...
The bottom level which contains plants has the most energy. This is because they get their energy directly from the sun while other animals get it from plants themselves, or other animals. Animals cannot absorb 100% of the energy when they eat plants so the level of energy degrades all the way to the top of the food chain. Each animal gets less and less % of the energy the plant had in the first place.
in an energy pyramid , the most energy is available at which level of the pyramid
I believe producers
it contains the least amount of the total energy.
Producers are found at the bottom level of the energy pyramid. They are organisms that can photosynthesize, creating energy from sunlight, and form the foundation of the food chain by providing energy to other organisms.
The most energy is available at the producer level of the pyramid . As you move up the pyramid, each level has less energy available than the level below.
it contains the least amount of the total energy.
it contains the least amount of the total energy.

The most energy is available at the producer level of the pyramid . As you move up the pyramid, each level has less energy available than the level below.
they are on fourth tropical level in energy pyramid
The lowest level of the energy pyramid that contains carnivores is the third trophic level. These carnivores consume herbivores from the second trophic level that feed on producers at the first trophic level.
The bottom of the pyramid contains the most energy.
