Question

I THINK ITS "B"

The illustration shows a representative food web found in the marine environment. Which food chain best represents one flow of energy through this marine ecosystem?


WILL INSERT PIC


Birds → Leopard Seal → Carnivorous Zooplankton → Herbivorous → Zooplankton

Phytoplankton → Krill → Fish → Baleen Whales

Phytoplankton → Herbivorous Zooplankton → Fish → Leopard Seals

Smaller Toothed Whale → Penguin → Fish → Krill

Answer 1

In my opinion its Smaller Toothed Whale → Penguin → Fish → Krill cause it shows more of a simple but diverse variety since A shows too much of plankton but im not 100% sure. 

Answer 2

Phytoplankton → Herbivorous Zooplankton → Fish → Leopard Seals best represents one flow of energy through this marine ecosystem.

• Marine ecosystems are aquatic environments with high levels of dissolved salt. These include the open ocean, the deep-sea ocean, and coastal marine ecosystems, each of which has different physical and biological characteristics.

• Phytoplankton and algae form the bases of aquatic food webs. They are eaten by primary consumers like zooplankton, small fish, and crustaceans. Primary consumers are in turn eaten by fish, small sharks, corals, and baleen whales.
• The process of transfer of energy from producers through a series of organisms, i.e., from primary consumers to secondary consumers and from secondary consumers to tertiary consumers by process of eating and being eaten constitute a food chain.

• In a food chain, the organisms provide food for succeeding organisms irrespective whether they are producers or consumers.
