Amount of accessible energy-inferior tropic levels

Can the amount of accessible energy in a given tropic level to be higher than the accessible energy in the inferior tropic levels? What does that situation means to the conformation of energy pyramids?

Verified

A greater tropic level always has less accessible energy than the inferior tropic levels. This is since in each and every tropic level only the fraction of organic material of level below is incorporated in the consumers (or in their bodies), the other part is eradicated as waste or is employed in the metabolism as energy source. Thus it is never probable to have energy pyramids with inverted conformation, that is, with tip to the bottom and base to the top. It is as well not probable to have superior tropic levels with variable dimension higher than inferior ones. In the every energy pyramid, from base to top, the size of variable dimension diminishes.
