@umm could u confirm this nobody's helping

The top 2 are correct. However, the bottom 2 are incorrect, if you’re using rule of 10. It’s basically 10 off of 100 leaving you with 90 and so forth and on.

Think about having a whole pizza, and the pizza represents all the energy in an ecosystem. When a rabbit eats plants, it gets only about 10% of the energy from those plants, so to speak, like having just one slice of the pizza. Then, when a fox eats the rabbit, it gets about 10% of the energy the rabbit had, which is like getting a small bite of that one slice. This happens at each step, so as you go up the food chain, there's less and less energy to go around.

I’m not sure if that’s something you’d be able to visualize, but I’m currently on mobile.. so I can come up with a drawing for it unfortunately. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

i see but isn't the energy getting lower on the bottom two?

Precisely, yes. But it’d stay in the 2’s section.

Here, let's break it down. 
Cinsider the producers, like plants, make a total of 20,000 units of energy (kcal). The primary consumers, which are the herbivores eating those plants, get about 10% of that energy, which is 2,000 kcal. Then, if secondary consumers, like carnivores eating the herbivores, get 10%, they get around 200 kcal. This pattern continues with tertiary consumers getting about 10% of what secondary consumers had (around 20 kcal), and quaternary consumers getting around 10% of what tertiary consumers had (around 2 kcal). It's like everyone gets a smaller share as you move up the food chain.
