Question

Which statement concerning the energy in this

pyramid is correct?
A. Consumer 3 contains the greatest amount of
stored energy
B. Stored energy decreases from Consumer 2 to
Consumer 3.
C. Stored energy increases from Producer to
Consumer 1.
D. Producer organisms contain the least amount of
stored energy.

Answer 1

B. Stored energy decreases from Consumer 2 to

Consumer 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

As energy is transferred from one trophic level to another on the pyramid, the amount of stored energy available for those above a trophic level decreases.

The greatest amount of energy is found at the bottom of the pyramid, where we have the producers.

Consumers at the top of the pyramid have the least amount of stored energy.

The statement that is correct about the pyramid is: "B. Stored energy decreases from Consumer 2 to

Consumer 3."
