Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Which statement best describes the flow of energy as it passes through the organisms in the pyramid? Energy flows through the organisms from bottom to top and increases at each level.
Detailed explanation-2: -Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level.
Detailed explanation-3: -The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.
