Energy Pyramid (10% Law)Carnivore~10 unitsHerbivore~100 unitsProducer~1000 unitsOnly about 10% of energy passes to the next trophic levelFood chain: Grass to Deer to Tiger

Energy pyramid showing a simple food chain (producer to herbivore to carnivore) with energy decreasing roughly tenfold at each trophic level.

Concept context
