Question

an energy pyramid illustrates how energy is transferred between trophic levels within an ecosystem. which level of the energy pyramid forms the base?
○ primary consumers
○ producers
○ decomposers
○ apex predators

Explanation:

In an energy pyramid, producers (like plants) are at the base. They capture energy from the sun (via photosynthesis) and form the foundation, as they are the source of energy for all other trophic levels. Primary consumers eat producers, apex predators are at the top, and decomposers recycle nutrients but aren't the base energy source.

Answer:

B. Producers
