Answer:
When one thing dies, or is taken away from the food web, then this could happen:
Let's say plants are taken away. Then, herbivores have nothing to eat, sot hey die. Then, carnivores have nothing to eat, and the same thing happens, etc.
Plants are the base of survival for every organism in nearly every ecosystem.
When energy passes from one trophic level to the next, I would guess that the two factors which decrease the total amount of energy from being passed up are:
1. An organism does not assimilate all the energy of food consumed. Within a consumer, digestion and assimilation of energy is not 100% efficient: some of the energy is lost.
2. A large proportion of energy assimilated by a producer and consumer is lost through respiration, i.e., day-to-day maintenance of metabolic processes.
