Question 13 • *GV 2019 - MPS Environmental Science Semester 2 SC631

Moving through trophic levels _______.

Answer
A
energy decreases
B
entropy increases
C
biomass decreases
D
all of the above

Explanation

As energy moves from one trophic level to the next, less energy is available because organisms use much of it for life processes and release energy as heat. These transfers increase entropy, and the amount of biomass generally decreases at higher trophic levels. Therefore, all three statements are true, making “all of the above” correct.
