Question

Which organisn contain the most energy? plants or carnivores?

Answer 1

plants contain more energy than carnivores as plants get their energy directly from the sun. Energy is then lost through metabolism by respective trophic levels (herbivores and so on) until it reaches the carnivores.

Answer 2

Plants, as they capture energy from the sun directly and trap it in chemical form. As producers plants are at the bottom of the energy pyramid with the highest amount of energy. Carnivores happen to be at the topmost level of the pyramid as they survive exclusively on meat. Remember the amount of energy transfered from one level to the other is only 10% of the last amount.
