Which of the following explains why the levels get progressively smaller in the previous diagram as you move up the trophic pyramid? Check all that apply. Organisms become more dispersed as you move up the trophic pyramid The amount of biomass and number of individuals decreases as you go up the trophic pyramid Only 10% of the energy from one level is passed onto the next Only 1-2% of the sun's energy is harnessed by producers
