Answer:
FALSE it is transferred to potential energy.
Step-by-step explanation:
When produtors such as plants perform photosynthesis by capturing sunlight (solar energy) and producing organic compounds, the energy is stored partly in the form of chemical potential energy, while the other part will be used for the breathing process.
When a consumer feeds on a producer, the potential chemical energy present in the photosynthetic organic compounds is transferred from one trophic level to another and is reduced at each subsequent trophic level.
