Answer 1

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

Producers → Primary consumers → Secondary consumers → Tertiary consumers

This reflects the flow of energy from the initial producers (plants) to the primary consumers (herbivores), then to secondary consumers (carnivores that eat herbivores), and finally to tertiary consumers (top predators).
