Understand the Problem

The question is asking about the conclusions that can be drawn regarding energy flow in ecosystems based on a model. It presents multiple choice options related to how energy behaves throughout the food chain and trophic levels.

Answer

Energy decreases as it moves from one trophic level to the next.

Energy decreases as it moves from one trophic level to the next.

Answer for screen readers

Energy decreases as it moves from one trophic level to the next.

More Information

Energy flow in ecosystems is unidirectional and involves passing energy from the sun to producers, then to consumers, with significant energy loss at each trophic level. Commonly, only about 10% of the energy is transferred to the next level.

Tips

A common mistake is assuming energy is perfectly conserved through trophic levels, when in fact much is lost as heat.
