Question
Chapter 35, Problem 9A
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The energy is transferred from producer to different consumers through food chains and food webs. Producers make their own food through photosynthesis. Primary consumers then feed upon producers and receive only a part of their energy store and use it. Secondary consumers then eat the primary consumers and take part of their stored energy and so on. Most of the energy is lost during transfer from one trophic level to other. Therefore, very less amount of energy reaches to the carnivores.
