44
Points: 1
A student claims: “The top predator in a food chain receives the most usable energy because it eats many organisms.” Which statement best evaluates this claim?
Explanation
Due to the second law of thermodynamics, energy decreases as it moves up a food chain, meaning predators receive the least usable energy.
