Question

The energy available to consumers determined by subtracting the energy used by plants from the total energy transformed by the process of photosynthesis. True or False

Answer 1

Answer: false

Explanation: The law of transformation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but are transformed from one form to another. Plants are the producers. They trap solar energy from the sunlight and transforms it into chemical energy. This chemical energy is then utilized by consumers. Hence Solar energy =chemical energy

Answer 2

True

Step-by-step explanation:

during photosynthesis, plants store up energy as starch, it is this starch that is the energy available to herbivours. thus the energy available to herivours is the is energy left from the difference between total energy produced during photosynthesis and the energy used by plants for the process.
