Question
Which of the following best describes the movement of energy in an ecosystem? Energy is constantly recycled by decomposers for use by producers. Energy is harnessed by producers, and available energy decreases with each trophic level transfer. Energy is absorbed by plants through water and soil and then moves up the food chain through consumers. D Energy is magnified as it moves up the trophic levels, and tertiary consumers store the most energy in a food web. MacBook Pro esc Q ! # $ % 2 3 4 6. 7 Q W E R A S F G
