Question

Which of the following would most likely have the least amount of biomass and the fewest numbers in a food chain or food web? Explain your answer choice.

a. Plants b. Insects c. Spiders d. Wolves

Answer 1

The correct answer is d Wolves.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wolves are placed in the top layer of a food chain or food web because they act as secondary carnivores or tertiary consumers.

We all know that when an organism of a tropic level eat another another organism that is present to its below tropic level only 10% energy is transferred from n tropic level organism to n+1 tropic lebel organism.

As Wolves are present in in the 4th tropic level only few percentage of the total biomass of that food chain will be received by them.
