A pyramid shape is used to show the amount of available energy at each trophic level because... 

• energy decreases as you go up the food chain, just like the pyramid shape gets smaller as you go up. 
• energy increases up the food chain just like the pyramid shape gets smaller as you go up. 
• energy amounts are the same at each trophic level

If only 10% of an organism's energy is available for the next trophic level, what happens with the other 90% of the energy?

• It is destroyed after it is used up.
• It is used for life processes or lost as body heat.
• It remains for the next trophic level IF the predator consumes ALL of the organism.
• It is lost completely as body heat.
