Energy Pyramid

Real World Example

Imagine trying to split a pizza with a group of friends, but each friend takes a slice before passing it on, leaving less for the next person. This is similar to how energy decreases as it moves up a food chain, with each level consuming energy and leaving less for the next. Just as each person takes a slice, organisms at each level of the food chain use up energy, so by the time it reaches the top, much less energy remains, illustrating the diminishing energy available at higher trophic levels.
