In a food chain "Grass → Deer → Tiger", which trophic level has the LEAST energy available?

Deer
Tiger
Grass
All equal

Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Tiger

1. Each trophic transfer loses ~90% of incoming energy. 2. Tiger is at the highest level here, so it receives the smallest remaining fraction. 3. Hence Tiger has the least usable energy. _Source: syllabus Science, Ch 13 "Our Environment", §13.1.1_

The flow chart "Sun → producer → consumer → decomposer" describes:

Photosynthesis only
A cyclical nutrient flow (option)
Atmospheric refraction
One-way flow of energy through an ecosystem

Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. One-way flow of energy through an ecosystem

1. Solar energy is captured by producers. 2. It is passed up the consumer chain and finally to decomposers. 3. Energy is dissipated as heat at each step; flow does not reverse. _Source: syllabus Science, Ch 13 "Our Environment", §13.1.1_
