What happens to the amount of energy transferred from one step to the next in a food chain?

Verified by Experts

(1). Energy enters the producers in the ecosystem from the sum.
(2). This is transferred from one trophic level to another in the ecosystem.
(3). From producers the chemical energy passes to the consumers from one trophic level to the next through food.
