Question

Why are there usually few organisms at the top of an energy pyramid?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The number of organisms near the top of the energy pyramid is usually small, because most of the energy produced is lost due to factors such as exercise and heat. This energy loss occurs multiple times when passing through the pyramid, forcing consumers near the top to require more food. This creates a pyramid with the third consumer at the top and the producer at the bottom.
