In the desert food web shown below, which of the following best describes the transfer of energy between cacti and mule deer?
fgiga [73]
The correct option is B.
In the ecosystem, energy flows from one trophic level to the other. The first trophic level is that of the producers which use the energy of the sun to produce their own food. Out of the energy obtained from the sun by the producers only about 3% of it is converted into food products. The second trophic level is made up of the herbivores and the omnivores which eat the plant. Only about 10% of the energy from the plant is transferred to the animals in the second trophic level. These second trophic level animals will also transfer about 10% of the energy they obtain to the animals in the third trophic level when they are eaten. Thus, it can be seen that the energy that is transferred in the ecosystem is gradually reducing from one trophic level to another.

How much of the suns engry do mushrooms take!!!!!

Producers

To understand food chains and food webs, we must start with where the energy begins. Sunlight is energy, and plants use this energy to turn water and carbon dioxide into plant food. This process is called “photosynthesis”. Plants also need minerals and nutrients. They get these from the soil when their roots take up water. While this might not sound like the kind of food you would want to eat, this plant food allows plants to grow, flower, and produceproduce things like acorns, potatoes, carrots, apples, pecans, and many other kinds of fruits.

Because plants make so much energy, they are called “producers”. Their ability to use sunlight to make food makes them a very important source of energy for other living things. Think about all the animals that eat plants. Wow, it's mind-boggling! Now, think about all the places that plants grow. From the oceans to the deserts to the mountaintops, plants can be found nearly everywhere basking in the sunlight and making their own food. And wherever plants grow, animals that depend upon them are sure to be found.
