Question

use the diagram below to answer the following questions: which organism belongs to the trophic level that has the least amount of energy available to it? a. snake b. eagle c. grasshopper d. frog e. grass

Explanation:

In a food chain, energy decreases as we move up trophic levels (producers → primary consumers → secondary consumers → tertiary consumers). The grass is a producer (1st trophic level), grasshopper is primary consumer (2nd), frog secondary (3rd), snake tertiary (4th), and eagle is quaternary (5th) or top consumer. Higher trophic levels have less energy. The eagle is at the highest trophic level here, so it has the least energy available.

Answer:

b. Eagle
