Question

which of the following statements about the energy pyramids is correct? select 2
as we go up the energy pyramid the amount of energy available in each trophic level increases
as we go up the energy pyramid the amount of energy available in each trophic level decreases
as we go up in a biomass pyramid the amount of biomass increases

Explanation:

In an energy pyramid, energy is lost as heat at each trophic - level transfer. So, as we move up the energy pyramid, the amount of available energy decreases. Biomass pyramids have different rules and are not relevant to the energy - related statement here.

Answer:

As we go up the energy pyramid the amount of energy available in each trophic level decreases.
