The accumulated chemical energy in plants is received by the herbivores in the form of food. Degradation of energy occurs during its transfer from plants to herbivores. After that, carnivorous organisms eat the herbivorous organisms, and at that time also there is degradation of energy. Thus, from one nutritional level to another, the energy flows and transfer of energy occurs. Thus, the quantity of energy at every consumer level decreases continuously.
