Question

use the information to answer the question.
the image shows a food web.
which food chain best illustrates the transfer of energy between three organisms in the food web?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall energy transfer rule

In food chains, only ~10% of energy transfers from one trophic level to the next; the producer has 100% initial energy.

Step2: Match to options

Producers (grasses) start at 100%. Primary consumers (grasshoppers) get 10% of that, and secondary consumers (robins) get 10% of the grasshoppers' energy, which is 1% of the original producer energy.

Answer:

D. grasses 100% energy → grasshoppers 10% energy → robins 1% energy
