Answer: The energy flow is unidirectional in nature.

Explanation: When these herbivores are ingested by carnivores of the first order (secondary consumers) further degradation will occur. Finally, when tertiary consumers consume the carnivores, energy will again be degraded. Moreover, in a food chain, the energy flow follows the 10 percent law.

Answer: Primary producer > primary consumer > secondary consumer > tertionary consumer.

Explanation: Primary producers(plants) get their energy from the sun then when a primary consumer (organism that eats plants; herbivores) eats the primary producer it collects that energy with it. Then when the primary producer is eaten by the secondary producer( carnivores that eat smaller animals; such as wolves,crow,hawks etc.). The tertionary consumer eats the secondary consumer.(tertionary consumers are larger carnivores) therefore energy gets passed down the line all the way to the tertionary consumer.
