2 Energy flow
Light →Plant →Herbivore →Carnivore
• Food chain: sequence showing feeding relationships and energy flow
(arrows follow energy flow)
• Trophic level: how many organisms has energy flowed through
At every level 10% energy is passed to the next energy, 90% energy is
lost (at most 4 levels, then no more energy is available to sustain a new
level)
primary producer (100) → primary consumer (10) → secondary consumer
