The correct sequence of energy transfer in a food web is:
**Producers → Primary consumers → Secondary consumers → Tertiary consumers**
This indicates that energy flows from producers (such as plants) to primary consumers (herbivores), then to secondary consumers (carnivores that eat herbivores), and finally to tertiary consumers (carnivores that eat other carnivores).
**Producers → Primary consumers → Secondary consumers → Tertiary consumers**
This indicates that energy flows from producers (such as plants) to primary consumers (herbivores), then to secondary consumers (carnivores that eat herbivores), and finally to tertiary consumers (carnivores that eat other carnivores).
