Answer 1

1. The process that oak leaves use to gain energy is called Photosynthesis.

2. The organisms in one level of the pyramid get their energy from the organisms at the previous level through consumption. For example, herbivores (primary consumers) eat plants (producers) to obtain energy, while carnivores (secondary consumers) eat herbivores to gain energy.

3. The caterpillars in the energy pyramid get 470 kcal from eating the leaves in a square meter of the oak tree.
