Question

daniel is studying feeding relationships in a neighborhood pond. he observes several organisms that feed on one another, and he organizes them into a food - chain model shown below. daniels observations and the food chain model provide the strongest evidence for which statement about pond organisms? matter cycles and energy flows through pond organisms from primary producers to a series of consumers. matter, but not energy, flows through pond organisms from primary consumers to a series of consumers. energy cycles through pond organisms, and returns to primary consumers through the actions of decomposers and detritivores. energy and matter flow in opposite directions through pond organisms between primary producers and consumers. raphael is studying the water cycle and its critical role in ecosystem functions. he is developing a model of the water cycle, and his initial work is shown below. is it possible for human activities to affect the water cycle?

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, matter cycles and energy flows from primary producers (like plants or algae in a pond) to various levels of consumers. Food - chains represent this one - way flow of energy and cycling of matter. Energy enters the ecosystem through photosynthesis by primary producers and is transferred through the food chain as organisms consume one another. Matter is also transferred and recycled in the process.

Answer:

Matter cycles and energy flows through pond organisms from primary producers to a series of consumers.
