Question

Which of the following is not true concerning the flow of energy through an ecosystem? a. Most solar energy is used in photosynthesis. b. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are performed by plants. c. Not all solar energy is used for photosynthesis. d. Most of the energy from photosynthesis flows out as heat.

Answer 1

The best option will be the D i.e; Most of the energy from photosynthesis flows out as heat. Because this statement is not true.

Answer 2

Answer;

D. Most of the energy from photosynthesis flows out as heat

Explanation;

Energy flow is the amount of energy that moves through a food chain in a given ecosystem.

Producers such as green plants in a ecosystem convert energy from the the sun into carbon bonds, such as those found in the sugar glucose through the process of photosynthesis.

The amount of chemical energy storied as nutrients in the bodies and wastes of organisms flows through ecosystems from one trophic level to the next and through this flow energy also is lost as heat. And the chemical energy available to the succeeding feeding level decreases.
