Answer 1

The example that best describes the order of energy flow in an ecosystem is:

**sun → algae → fish**

This is because energy from the sun is first captured by producers (like algae) through the process of photosynthesis, and then that energy is transferred to consumers (like fish) when they consume the producers.
