Question

Sort the following organisms in decreasing order of energy that they can consume.

• A. Banyan
• B. Lion
• C. Rabbit
• D. Fox

Answer 1

Energy level decreases as we move from producers to consumers. Banyan is a producer which receives maximum amount of energy from the sun. A very less portion of this energy is obtained by the primary consumer which feeds on banyan, i.e., rabbit. An even lesser portion of energy can be consumed by the secondary consumer which feeds on rabbit, i.e., fox. The least energy is obtained by the tertiary consumer which feeds on fox, i.e., lion.
