Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Consumers obtain their energy by consuming other organisms, which can include other consumers or producers. Producers, on the other hand, obtain their energy directly from sunlight or inorganic sources, such as minerals. Therefore, statement (A) is false. Statement (B) is also false, as there can be multiple levels of consumers in a food chain or web. Statement (D) is also false, as the initial energy transfer in a food chain or web is from producers to primary consumers (herbivores).
