Though the pyramid of energy is always upright, what decreases at successive trophic levels from producers to consumers? Correct Answer Energy content

Though the pyramid of energy is always upright, the energy content decreases at successive trophic levels from producers to consumers. At each level, some amount of energy is lost into the surroundings in the form of heat.
