Energy transfers from the producer to the consumer.
Explanation:
An organism eats to get energy that is required by its tissue to carry out metabolic activities.
Organisms in an ecosystem are related to each other by there feeding habits.
The producers lie at the bottom of a food chain. They bear the ability to convert the solar energy into chemical energy within the cell.
They are responsible to drive the flow of energy from the ultimate source into the food chain.
When consumers feed on the producers the energy conserved in the tissue of producers get transferred to the consumer in this way the enery transfers from one trophic level to another.
The two plates grab onto each other and lock in place is not a resulting situation of two plates colliding at a convergent boundary. When two plates colliding at a convergent boundary, what happenes is that one of the boundary either goes under or on top of the under, in order to release the energy that the two have stored because of the collision.
