Which of the following statements about this food web is FALSE?

• the ultimate source of energy for the whole food web is the radiant energy of the SUN

• energy is used up by each trophic level, and ultimately lost as heat energy

• 100% of the energy made by the vegetation is passed to the geese and mute swans

A pyramid shape is used to show the amount of available energy at each trophic level because...

• energy increases up the food chain just like the pyramid shape gets smaller as you go up.

• energy amounts are the same at each trophic level

• energy decreases as you go up the food chain, just like the pyramid shape gets smaller as you go up.

Why are producers found at the base of the pyramid?

• They begin the flow of energy in an ecosystem.

• There are more plants than animals.

• They create all of the energy and therefore have the most energy of all of the trophic levels.

• All of these answers are correct.
