Question

Is there more energy stored in the producer level or consumer levels?

Select one:
a. at the consumer level because they are higher on the food chain
b. at the consumer level because their diet has more variety
c. at the producer level because it is closer to the sun's energy and not as much is lost
d. at the producer level because they are producing the food

Answer 1

There is more energy stored in the producer level, because they have 100% of the Sun's energy, while each trophic level (consumer) only gets 10% of the previous level.
