There are fewer animals at the top of the food pyramid because energy is lost as it moves up. Plants support ecosystems by starting with lots of energy from the sun. When animals eat plants, they only get some of that energy, so there are more plants than animals in the pyramid. WRITE LIKE A 7th GRADER
