Answer:

Energy passes through one organism to the next. Autotrophs, like plants, absorb energy from the sun and make their own food. Then heterotroph herbivores, like a rabbit, consume the plants and only gain 1/10 of the energy that plant had. Next comes a carnivore or omnivore heterotroph, like a snake, they recieve 1/10 of the energy of their food. And then another carnivore or omnivore, like an eagle, will receive 1/10 of the energy of their food.
