Answer 1

Answer:

Because there is less energy at higher trophic levels

Explanation:

• In a food chain that shows the feeding levels of organisms in an ecosystem, energy decreases as you move from the lowest trophic level to the highest trophic level.
• The lowest trophic level consists of producers which have the highest energy as they trap energy directly from the sunlight.
• The energy is lost from one trophic level to the next up to the highest trophic level which has the lowest energy.
• Therefore, organisms at the highest trophic level are fewer in number but large in size.
