The energy pyramid is always upright because energy is lost as heat at each trophic level, making energy transfer inefficient.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 12: Ecosystem Ecosystem Services and Functions
According to the 10% Law, only 10% of the energy from one trophic level is transferred to the next, while the rest is lost as heat.

Carnivores do not belong to the second trophic level; they are secondary or tertiary consumers.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 12: Ecosystem Ecosystem Services and Functions
Consumers gain less energy than producers due to energy loss at each trophic level.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 12: Ecosystem Ecosystem Services and Functions
Energy transfer is inefficient because most energy is lost as heat due to metabolic activities, limiting the amount transferred to the next level.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 12: Ecosystem Ecosystem Services and Functions
Secondary consumers occupy the third trophic level in a food chain, feeding on primary consumers.

In a forest ecosystem, the detritus food chain is more dominant because a large amount of energy flows through decomposers.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 12: Ecosystem Energy Flow - Food Chains Food Webs Trophic Levels
Energy flows in a unidirectional manner from producers to consumers and is eventually lost as heat.
