Question
**Food Web Diagram Explanation**

The diagram illustrates a food web, showing the feeding relationships between different organisms within an ecosystem. These relationships are depicted with arrows pointing from food sources to consumers.

- **Flow of Energy:**
  - **Plants** are at the base and are consumed by **beetles**, **squirrels**, and **mice**.
  - **Beetles** are eaten by **frogs**.
  - **Frogs** are consumed by **bears**.
  - **Squirrels** are preyed upon by **hawks**.
  - **Mice** are hunted by both **owls** and **hawks**.

**Question:**
Based on these feeding relationships, which organism will receive the least amount of energy available in the ecosystem?

- bears
- plants
- beetles
- frogs

**Note:** In a food web, the highest trophic level typically receives the least energy due to energy loss at each transfer step.
