The correct response is:
Because 10% of the energy at each level moves to the next level and some additional energy is converted to heat.
In an energy pyramid, typically only about 10% of the energy from one trophic level is transferred to the next level. The rest is lost primarily as heat through metabolic processes and other biological functions, which is why each level of the energy pyramid is smaller than the level directly below it.
