Question

which of the following is not an example of energy transformations in an ecosystem?
a. sunlight driving photosynthesis in plants
b. herbivores feeding on plants
c. predators feeding on herbivores
d. none of the above

Explanation:

• Option a: Sunlight (solar energy) is transformed into chemical energy (glucose) during photosynthesis.
• Option b: Herbivores convert the chemical energy stored in plants (from photosynthesis) into their own biomass (chemical energy).
• Option c: Predators convert the chemical energy in herbivores into their own biomass (chemical energy).

Since all options (a, b, c) represent energy transformations in an ecosystem, the answer is not among them.

Answer:

d. none of the above
