Why is the energy pyramid not a smooth geometric shape like a triangle but, rather, looks like narrow blocks stacked on top of wider blocks? (1 point)

• A triangular pyramid would reflect a food pyramid rather than energy flow.
• Energy decreases at each level, and only 10% remains from the previous level.
O Lower levels have far more individuals, so the shape reflects their population size.
• The sizes of each shape show how much is consumed (or produced) at each level.

The correct answer is:

• Energy decreases at each level, and only 10% remains from the previous level.
