Question

Using the passage, which statement correctly describes the energy level of a group of organisms?
A
Aquatic plants are producers that receive the smallest amount of energy in the
pyramid.
B
Largemouth bass fish are producers that receive the largest amount of energy
in the pyramid
С
Aquatic plants are tertiary consumers that receive the largest amount of energy
in the pyramid.
D
Largemouth bass fish are tertiary consumers that receive the smallest amount
of energy in the pyramid.

Answer 1

The statement correctly describes the energy level of a group of organisms - option D. Largemouth bass fish are tertiary consumers that receive the smallest amount of energy in the pyramid.

Energy flow is the phenomenon of the transfer of energy from one trophic level to another in any ecosystem. It follows the law of 10% and it is unidirectional from producers to the different consumers according to the trophic level.

The energy flow in the marine or aquatic ecosystem of various organisms is as follows:

aquatic plants → zooplankton → small fishes → largemouth bass fish

If we arrange this food chain in the ecosystem energy pyramid

• phytoplanktons are producers that receive the highest amount of energy as it produces chemical energy with help of the sun.
• zooplanktons are the primary consumer gets 10% of the producer's total energy

• secondary consumer, small fish gets 10% of the total energy of primary consumer

• Largemouth bass fish are tertiary consumers that receive the smallest amount of energy in the pyramid.

thus, the statement correctly describes the energy level of a group of organisms - option D.
