Question

which trophic level receives the greatest amount of energy from producers?
tertiary consumers/ level 1
secondary consumers/ level 2
producers/ level 4
primary consumers/ level 3

Explanation:

In an energy pyramid, energy transfer follows the 10% rule. Producers (autotrophs) convert sunlight into chemical energy. Primary consumers (herbivores) eat producers. As energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, about 90% is lost (as heat, in metabolic processes etc.). So the trophic level immediately after producers (primary consumers) will receive the most energy from producers compared to higher - level consumers (secondary and tertiary).

Answer:

Primary consumers/ Level 3
