A diagram that shows the transfer of energy in one line is a ____
A
food web
B
food chain
C
food line
D
food court
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A food chain is a linear diagram showing how energy moves through an ecosystem. It shows only one pathway out of the many possibilities in a specific ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-2: -A food chain is a simple diagram that shows one way energy flows through an ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-3: -An energy transfer diagram or a Sankey diagram is used to show the transfer of energy across a process or a device. It is a flow diagram in which the widths of the arrows show the relative amounts of each type of energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transfer of energy may refer to: Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. Transfer of energy from one place to another: Electric power transmission, the bulk movement of electrical energy from a power plant to an electrical substation.

Detailed explanation-5: -An energy pyramid is a diagram that shows the flow and quantification of energy transfer in an ecosystem. Energy pyramids are based on the trophic levels of a food web in an ecosystem. The main trophic levels are: Producers: organisms that make their own food.
