The statement that best explains why levels of an energy pyramid do not have the same amount of energy is:
**Some energy is released to the atmosphere between levels.**
This reflects the second law of thermodynamics, which states that energy is not completely transferred from one trophic level to the next; instead, some energy is lost as heat during metabolic processes.
