Select all answers below that describe energy in a food web.

• Photosynthesis produces about 10% of the energy available to plants.

• A primary consumer uses up most of the energy it gets from a producer.

• About 10% of the energy from a trophic level is available to the next level.

• At each trophic level, some energy is lost into the atmosphere as heat.
