An energy pyramid is a model that shows specifically how energy moves through living things. It illustrates the distribution of energy among different trophic levels in an ecosystem, indicating that energy decreases as you move up the pyramid from producers to primary consumers, secondary consumers, and so on. Each level represents the amount of energy available to organisms at that particular level, and it emphasizes the inefficiency of energy transfer between the levels.
