Question

In the figure given alongside, the various trophic levels are shown in the form of a pyramid. At which trophic level the maximum energy is available?

Options

• T₄

• T₂

• T₁

• T₃

Answer 1

T₁

Explanation:

At T₁, producers, which make food, are present, and hence they are at the bottom of the trophic levels. As they get energy directly from the sun, they have the maximum energy. This energy keeps on reducing as it is passed on to the next trophic levels.
