What is a trophic web?

The trophic web is the interaction between different organisms involving the transference of energy when some of them feed on the other ones.

The ones placed at lower levels pass energy to the ones at the higher levels. Only 10% of the energy stored in each individual's tissues is transmitted to its predator. The remaining 90% of energy is released into the environment.

Organisms at each level feed on the preceding one and become food for the next one.

• The first link corresponds to a producer organism -autotroph-.

• The following links are the consumers -heterotrophs-: herbivores and carnivores.

• The last links are the decomposers that degrade organic matter from dead organisms.

Because it is a web, all organisms are in equilibrium until a change occurs. When a sudden change affects any of the involved links, there can be a cascade effect on the web.

Any change in a link population size (increasing or decreasing) will affect the superior links and the immediately anterior link.

Options:

A. Producers and primary consumers compete with each other for food sources ⇒ False. they do not compete. Producers take energy from the sun, while primary consumers take energy from producers.

B. Primary consumers eat secondary consumers, which rely on producers for food. ⇒ False. Secondary consumers feed on primary consumers.

C. Producers provide primary consumers with the chemical energy they need. ⇒ False. True. 10% of the energy stored in the producer's tissues is provided to primary consumers -herbivores-.

D. Primary consumers provide producers with the chemical energy they need.​⇒ False. Primary consumers use the energy from the producers.

The correct option is C. Producers provide primary consumers with the chemical energy they need.
