Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which level of a food chain has the most food energy available
A
Producers
B
Primary consumers
C
Decomposers
D
Secondary composers
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The green plants in the ecosystem are called producers and they make the first trophic level of the food chain having the greatest amount of energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The level of the food web that has the most energy is the producers, according to the 10% rule. Producers are organisms that make their own food, such as photosynthetic plants, algae and bacteria, or chemosynthetic bacteria. Thus, since producers make their own food, they can get 100% of the available energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Primary producers use energy from the sun to produce their own food in the form of glucose, and then primary producers are eaten by primary consumers who are in turn eaten by secondary consumers, and so on, so that energy flows from one trophic level, or level of the food chain, to the next.

Detailed explanation-4: -The primary consumers of the plants can only eat so much and most of the energy they produce during digestion becomes heat that is not stored. Because some more energy is lost each time, the highest trophic level has the least energy.
