I’m missing the context — do you mean trophic (ecological) levels, atomic/electronic energy levels, or something else?
- If you mean an ecological energy pyramid (trophic levels): the highest trophic level (top/a pex consumers — e.g., tertiary or quaternary consumers) has the least amount of energy available. About 80–90% of energy is lost at each transfer, so energy decreases up the pyramid.
- If you mean atomic/electronic energy levels: the lowest energy level (the ground state, n=1 for hydrogen-like atoms) has the least energy; higher (excited) levels have more.
Which of these (or another type) did you mean?
