Question

this is a diagram of the food web in an ecosystem. which of the following shows one path that energy would follow as it flows through this ecosystem? grasses - termite - monkey - eagle hyena - mongoose - mouse - grasses grasses - termite - grasshopper - monkey acacia trees - giraffe - lion - vulture

Explanation:

In a food - web, energy flows from producers to consumers. Producers are plants that make their own food through photosynthesis. Consumers eat producers or other consumers. In the option "Acacia trees - Giraffe - Lion - Vulture", acacia trees are producers, giraffes are herbivores that eat the trees, lions are carnivores that eat giraffes, and vultures are scavengers that feed on the lion - killed remains. The other options have incorrect energy - flow directions (e.g., consumers before producers in "Hyena - Mongoose - Mouse - Grasses").

Answer:

Acacia trees - Giraffe - Lion - Vulture
