Question

Describe the flow of the matter and energy in a typical food web as they move through producer, consumer, and decomposer.

Answer 1

Producers make their own food so they start with 100% of the energy. Then herbivores will eat them and receive 10% of their energy. When the herbivores are eaten by either omnivores or carnivores they get 10% of the organism consumed. Each time something is consumed they receive a tenth of the energy passed.
