Answer:

A feeding position in a food chain

Step-by-step explanation:

It is part of an energy pyramid, each layer gets smaller, which is how the energy is distributed in the pyramid. Each step in the pryramid is a trophic level. The amount of energy passed on gets less and less every time, only about 10% of the energy is passed on. Producers are at the bottom with the most energy, while tertiary consumers and carnivores are at the top of the pyramid with the least energy.
