Question

The energy pyramid show below represents a valley ecosystem. Which transfer of energy shown below is most likely? Remember, energy transfers from when “something” eats “something” as we discussed in class.
From eagles to rabbits.
From green plants to weasels.
From weasels to eagles.
From rabbits to green plants.

Answer 1

The transfer of energy that will most likely occur is from weasels (first carnivore) to eagles (second carnivore). This is because eagles eat a variety of animals smaller than them. Rabbits cannot eat eagles because they are herbivores. Weasels do not eat green plants because they are carnivores. And green plants cannot "eat" rabbits.
