Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A simple model that shows how energy flows through an ecosystem.
A
food chain
B
Food web
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A food web is a model of feeding relationships in an ecosystem. When an organism is eaten, the matter and energy stored in its tissues are transferred to the organism that eats it. The arrows in a food web represent this transfer.

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

Detailed explanation-3: -An energy pyramid is a model that shows the flow of energy from one trophic, or feeding, level to the next in an ecosystem. The model is a diagram that compares the energy used by organisms at each trophic level.

Detailed explanation-4: -The diagram that depicts the flow of energy, as well as the energy that is transferred from one feeding level to another, is called the energy pyramid. The energy pyramid is made up of different feeding levels called trophic levels.

Detailed explanation-5: -Energy is transferred between organisms in food webs from producers to consumers. The energy is used by organisms to carry out complex tasks. The vast majority of energy that exists in food webs originates from the sun and is converted (transformed) into chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis in plants.
