Question

Through which process is energy stored as energy rich molecules in the first trophic level

Answer 1

The process through which energy is stored as energy-rich molecules in the first trophic level (usually producers or autotrophs) is photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, plants and other autotrophic organisms capture sunlight and use it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, storing energy in the form of chemical bonds in glucose molecules. This energy is then transferred to higher trophic levels through the consumption of these producers by herbivores and other organisms in a food chain.
