Answer / Deepti Rani
No, the amount of available energy at each trophic level is typically less than the level below it due to energy loss through metabolic processes and decomposition. This means that as we move up in the food chain, less energy is available per unit biomass. The conformation of the energy pyramids emphasizes this decrease in energy availability across trophic levels.
