Question
What does the arrow between the grasshopper and the frog represent?
- Energy flowing from producers to consumers
- Energy flowing from the frog to the grasshopper
- Energy flowing from consumers to producers
- Energy flowing from the grasshopper to the frog
Hint:
In a food web or food chain, the energy flow is unidirectional and in a linear manner between two organisms at successive tropic levels.
The correct answer is: Energy flowing from the grasshopper to the frog
- The arrow between the grasshopper and the frog represents the flow of energy from the grasshopper to the frog.
- The arrows pointing from one organism to another usually represent the direction of transfer and flow of energy between them.
- Since the grasshopper is eaten by the frog, it means that the energy from the grasshopper will move to the frog in a linear unidirectional manner.
Energy from one tropic level passed to another tropic level is reduced as the organisms use it for their own metabolism and maintenance.

Biomass refers to the overall volume of an organism or the total volume of all the organisms that exist in a given trophic level.
Biomass is often measured through dried organic mass per unit area.
