In a terrestrial ecosystem such as a forest, which trophic level posseses the maximum amount of energy?
Correct answer: C. T 1
- A. T 3
- B. T 4
- C. T 1
- D. T 2
Explanation
In a terrestrial ecosystem, maximum energy is in trophic level I because the organisms that trap solar energy are primary producers and they have maximum energy. Only 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next trophic level.
