Choose the INCORRECT statement with respect to Pyramid of energy.

The pyramid of energy is always upright and can never be inverted because when energy flows from a particular trophic level to the next trophic level, some energy is always lost as heat at each step.

According to the ten percent law, only about $10\%$ of the energy is transferred to the next trophic level. Therefore, energy always decreases while passing from producers to consumers.

In smaller food chains, fewer trophic levels are present, which means less energy is lost as heat compared to longer food chains. Thus, more energy is available at the top of a shorter food chain.

Hence, the statement that energy increases while passing from producers to consumers is incorrect.

Answer: Energy increases while passing from producers to consumers.
