Answer: The sun

Explanation: The vast majority of energy that exists in food webs originated from the sun and is converted (transformed) into chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis in plants. A small proportion of this chemical energy is transformed directly into heat when compounds are broken down during respiration in plants.

Answer:

A. The Sun

Step-by-step explanation:

The farther down the food web or food chain you go, the less energy is transferred from one organism to the next. This means that by one organism consuming the other, the one doing the consuming will receive less energy than the one that it had just consumed had from whatever it ate.

Because the sun is the basis on all energy, and producers get their energy from the sun, it carries the most amount of energy.
