Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Producers in ecosystems, such as plants, have the highest concentrations of energy because they are able to harness energy from the sun through photosynthesis. As you move up the food chain, less energy is available at each trophic level because energy is lost as heat through respiration and as waste products.

Note: A is false because the laws of thermodynamics apply universally, including to living organisms. C is false because the energy available to do cellular work is constantly decreasing due to entropy. D is false because consumers actually have less energy available to them than producers. E is false because plants trap energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy stored in organic molecules, not light.
