chain, energy:
Use the food web below to answer
the next two questions.
A is conserved and each organism
receives more than the first.

food web resulting in the
decomposers receiving the least
total amount of energy, while the
producers get the most.
Grasshopper
Bird
Rabbit
Grasses, Trees, and Bushes
