The correct order from the highest amount of energy to the lowest amount of energy is:
**herbivore, omnivore, carnivore**
Herbivores consume plants, which are primary producers and contain the most energy. Omnivores eat both plants and animals, so they have access to more energy sources than carnivores, which only eat other animals and typically receive less energy due to energy loss at each trophic level.
