Detailed explanation-1: -The sun is the source of energy in the food chain. Solar energy is used by producers or plants to synthesize their own food through photosynthesis. The plants are then consumed by organisms of the higher trophic level leading to the transmission of energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -The first trophic level of the food chain has the most energy. This level contains the producers, which are all of the photosynthetic organisms. This includes plants and sometimes photosynthetic bacteria and protists. These organisms take energy from the sun and turn it into organic sugar.
Detailed explanation-3: -At each step up the food chain, only 10 percent of the energy is passed on to the next level, while approximately 90 percent of the energy is lost as heat.
