Answer 1

The top consumer of a food chain will be the organism that receives the least amount of energy.

Answer 2

Among the following organisms, the owl receives the least amount of energy. (Option A)

• The tropic pyramid gives us information about the flow of food energy in the ecosystem.
• The organisms at the top of the tropic pyramid receive the least amount of energy.
• Tertiary consumers occupy the topmost section of the tropic pyramid.
• Owl is a tertiary consumer.
• Lilypad is a primary producer (autotrophs), it has the maximum energy.
• Then comes the grasshopper which is a primary consumer and receives nearly 10% energy from the primary producer.
• A mouse is a secondary consumer that receives nearly 1% of energy from the primary consumers.
• Owl is the tertiary consumer that obtains its energy from the secondary consumers and hence gets only about 0.1% energy.
