Question

विकल्प

• top consumer

• decomposer

• producer

• herbivore

Answer 1

For any ecosystem, the amount of energy present in the producer level is greater than that present in any other trophic level.

Explanation:

This is because producers (usually green plants) capture solar energy through photosynthesis and convert it into chemical energy. As energy passes from producers to herbivores and then to higher consumers, about 90% of energy is lost at each trophic transfer, mostly as heat. Therefore, energy decreases at each successive trophic level, making the producer level the one with the greatest energy content.
