What are the Most Important Transformers of Energy in Ecosystems

Question

What are the most important transformers of energy in ecosystems?
A)detritivores.
B)plants and algae.
C)primary consumers.
D)bacteria.
E)secondary consumers.

Accepted Answer

Plants and algae are the most important transformers of energy in ecosystems as they are the primary producers and convert solar energy into organic matter through photosynthesis. Without them, there would be no source of energy for other organisms in the ecosystem to consume. While detritivores, primary consumers, bacteria, and secondary consumers all play important roles in cycling nutrients and breaking down organic matter, they are not the primary transformers of energy in the ecosystem.
