Question

in an energy pyramid, which level has the greatest amount of available energy?
○ producers
○ secondary consumers
○ tertiary consumers
○ primary consumers

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In an energy pyramid, energy flows from producers (like plants that perform photosynthesis) up to consumers. At each trophic level, energy is lost (e.g., as heat, for metabolic processes). Producers are at the base of the energy pyramid, and they capture energy from the sun (or other energy sources) to make food. As energy moves up to primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers, the amount of available energy decreases because only a fraction (about 10%) of the energy from one level is passed to the next. So producers have the greatest amount of available energy.

Answer:

producers
