Question

choose the correct answer. which of the following best describes the flow of energy involving large piscivorous fish in the food web? they gain energy by eating small planktivorous fish and transfer energy to bald eagles and ospreys. they gain energy from bald eagles and ospreys and pass energy to small planktivorous fish. they gain energy from wading birds and provide energy to bald eagles and ospreys.

Explanation:

In a food web, energy flows from prey to predator. Large piscivorous fish (fish - eating fish) are consumers. Small planktivorous fish (plankton - eating fish) are prey for large piscivorous fish. Bald eagles and ospreys are predators of large piscivorous fish. So, large piscivorous fish gain energy by eating small planktivorous fish and transfer energy to bald eagles and ospreys.

Answer:

They gain energy by eating small planktivorous fish and transfer energy to bald eagles and ospreys.
