Question

The energy pyramid is usually larger at the bottom, but it reduces in size and becomes smaller as it goes up.

  1. True
  2. False

hintHint:

The flow of energy moves through the layers of the energy pyramid from the bottom up and is gradually reduced.

The correct answer is 'True'.


    • Energy levels are greater at the base of the pyramid and go lower as you ascend the trophic levels.
    • The producer and level with the most energy is the bottom and greatest of the pyramid.
    • Normally, only 10% of the energy is passed from one trophic level to the following, limiting the development of several trophic levels.
