Arctic sedge would have the greatest amount of energy available to it, as it is the primary producer in the food chain and captures the most energy from the sun through photosynthesis. The arctic hare and the rough-legged hawk receive progressively less energy as they are higher up in the food chain.

Answer:

The arctic sedge

Step-by-step explanation:

As energy flows through an ecosystem, only about 10% of the energy is passed on. Since the energy flow begins with the arctic sedge, it experiences the least energy loss, thus it has the greatest amount of energy available.
