Question

the flow of energy in some australian food chains is modeled in the energy pyramid below.based on the model, which consumers would receive the greatest amount of energy captured by the producers in their food chains?a wedge-tailed eaglesb chuditchc ring-tailed opossumsd eucalyptus trees

Explanation:

In an energy pyramid, energy decreases as you move up trophic levels. Producers (like Eucalyptus trees, option D) are not consumers. The lowest consumer trophic level (primary consumers) receives the most energy from producers. Ring-tailed opossums are primary consumers, feeding directly on producers (Eucalyptus trees), while Chuditch are secondary consumers and wedge-tailed eagles are tertiary consumers, receiving less energy at each higher level.

Answer:

C. Ring-tailed opossums
