After the primary producer level in an ecosystem:
| 1. | less and less amount of new chemical energy is added at successive trophic levels |
| 2. | no new chemical energy is added at successive trophic levels |
| 3. | more and more amount of new chemical energy is added at successive trophic levels |
| 4. | less amount of new chemical energy is added at primary consumer level and then the amount of new chemical energy added to successive levels becomes more and more |
