Question

Which of the claims below does this model support? Select all the claims that are supported.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The number of trophic levels is limited, and typically is less than 10.

C. On average, about 10 percent of available energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next.

D. Among consumers in an ecosystem, first-level consumers have the most available energy

Explanation:

The number of trophic levels are limited. when one available energy is transferred from one trophic level to another trophic level, about 10 percent of energy is transferred whereas the rest of the energy about 90 percent is released in the form of heat energy. The first-level consumers have the most available energy due to higher biomass.
