Answer 1

The correct sequence of energy transfer in a food web is:

Producers → Primary consumers → Secondary consumers → Tertiary consumers

This sequence reflects the flow of energy from producers (like plants) that create energy through photosynthesis, to primary consumers (herbivores) that eat the producers, to secondary consumers (carnivores or omnivores) that eat the primary consumers, and finally to tertiary consumers (top predators) that eat the secondary consumers.
