Which statement describes the relationship between the law of conservation of energy and the energy pyramid shown?
O The amount of available energy decreases as you move up the pyramid because some energy is transferred to the environment as heat
O The environment can sustain more organisms as the trophic level increases because more energy conversions have taken place.
O The number of grasshoppers exceeds the number of rats because their source of energy is the sun and fewer energy conversions have taken place.
O The population of tertiary consumers is greater than that of the secondary consumers because they occupy the highest trophic level in the energy pyramid
