Question
which trophic level typically has the most available energy in an ecosystem?
○ tertiary consumers
○ producers
○ primary consumers
○ secondary consumers
Brief Explanations
Energy in an ecosystem flows from producers to consumers. Producers, like plants, capture energy from the sun through photosynthesis. As energy moves up the trophic levels (primary consumers - secondary consumers - tertiary consumers), about 90% of the energy is lost at each transfer. So, producers have the most available energy.
